Creativity is looking at the familiar in an unfamiliar way.

About

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.
