About

I am a Lebanese Armenian graphic designer and filmmaker based in Stavanger, Norway since 2023. I have extensive experience in design and film dating back to 2008, including roles as an art director in Beirut advertising agencies, freelance design and teaching at the Antonine University in Lebanon, and coordinating film productions for Abbout Productions. I have contributed to numerous film festivals and festival projects in Lebanon and abroad.

I specialize in branding, visual communication, posters, film promotion materials and production coordination, with strong skills in Adobe Creative Suite and direction/editing of short films. I am multilingual, comfortable in international environments, and eager to create compelling visuals and stories across media.
