About

Hi, I’m Marwa Makarem, a 2D animator and editor based in Beirut, Lebanon. I currently work part-time as Animator/Editor at Experience Video Game Studio, where I create background and character animation, motion graphics, VFX, and compositing for Habib wa Abir; the show’s YouTube channel has reached up to 11k views.

Hi, I also served as Part-time Character Designer / Environment Artist at the same studio, where I developed the stories for three main characters and designed two of the five 2D environments for the series. I founded the Blue Moon Artists community with two friends and have volunteered extensively during university life, totaling over 120 hours with initiatives including USAID, AUB-CCECS, and the Nature Conservation Center (NCC).
