I’m an Emirati designer and illustrator, interested in photography, printmaking, and alternative publishing. Much of my work is rooted in storytelling and visually shedding light on themes I believe are important. I’m especially drawn to topics like identity and environmental issues, but I often explore them in a light, whimsical, and playful way. Through zines, prints, and handmade publications, I aim to create work that is both accessible and emotionally resonant.…I’m an Emirati designer and illustrator, interested in photography, printmaking, and alternative publishing.
