Hi, I’m Issam Battoum, a creative professional and entrepreneur with over 7 years of experience in design, branding, and digital operations. I founded Brandstorming, a creative agency where I lead projects across branding, web development, and social media campaigns, building and managing a talented team to deliver end-to-end solutions.
I also have experience as a workshop instructor covering UX principles and responsive website building.
