I am a multidisciplinary creative director with 16+ years steering brand identities, visual systems, and campaign concepts across the MENA region. I partner with artists, producers, marketers, and teams to translate business goals into cohesive, impactful visuals—from album artwork to social campaigns. Based in Lebanon, I enjoy building strong creative cultures, mentoring teams, and delivering consistent quality across digital and physical channels. Music and entertainment are at the heart of my work, but I thrive on cross‑industry projects that challenge conventions and push brands forward.
