I am a graphic designer, illustrator, and product designer with a background in applied arts and sciences. I graduated from the German University in Cairo in 2019 and studied abroad in Berlin as part of my premasters project. My experience spans visual design, branding, illustration, UI/UX, product design, and internal communications for startups, financial services, real estate, and technology companies. Outside of design, I enjoy reading about history, watching and playing sports, and following the latest design trends and talks. I was also a former captain of Helwan’s swimming club, competed nationally, and ranked fifth at the Egyptian national championship in the 50-meter freestyle event.
