Available to hire
Creativity is looking at the familiar in an unfamiliar way. After studying directing and media, and with over ten years of experience in the arts, I realized that to be successful as a director, I needed to be familiar with the majority of stages of the creative process. Therefore, I am continuously expanding my skills. Unlike many others, I have the courage to say I don’t know, and you can bet I won’t sleep until I do.
My experience spans assistant directing, line producing, scriptwriting, videography, teaching photography and videography, and artistic directing across different projects and countries such as Dubai, Damascus, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. I am passionate about storytelling and committed to delivering creative projects on time and budget, while constantly developing my craft and visual taste.
