I'm a graphic designer with over 20 years of experience—starting in healthcare publishing in the early 2000s, moving through editorial, advertising, and brand work, eventually building journal.me from scratch during a decade focused on my family. I relocated to Switzerland in 2015 and I'm now returning to full-time work, based in the Basel area. My background in mass communication means I think about audience before aesthetics. Best-looking design is the one the right person actually picks up. I worked in Arabic and English, which shapes how I approach bilingual identity work.…I'm a graphic designer with over 20 years of experience—starting in healthcare publishing in the early 2000s, moving through editorial, advertising, and brand work, eventually building journal.me from scratch during a decade focused on my family.
