About
I am a multidisciplinary visual artist and designer based in Abu Dhabi with over seven years of professional experience in 3D art, concept design, motion graphics, and visual effects. I hold a BA (Hons) in Visual Effects and Concept Design from Staffordshire University and Asia Pacific University. My career spans the gaming, metaverse, NFT, and retail sectors: I served as Art Director at SIFOR Games, leading the design of mobile games published on Google Play and the App Store; as Lead Artist at Hivers, where I helped build the foundation of their metaverse platform; and as Art Designer at Scienjoy Meta Technology, where I handled UI/UX design, 3D modeling, branding, and game asset production for the Dubai Verse Cup. I currently work as a freelance 3D and graphic designer for L’Oreal Middle East, producing planogram visualizations and retail artworks across the MENA region. My technical toolkit includes Blender, Autodesk Maya, Unity, Substance Painter, Figma, and the Adobe Creative Suite.
