Designer and illustrator

I've been creating art for as long as I can remember—ever
since I could hold a pencil infact. That passion has
shaped the way I approach design.

I love exploring different styles and mediums, never
limiting myself to just one. The media I consume often
influences my work, and I enjoy experimenting to push my
creativity further.

about

work

Beyond my studies, I’ve been working as a freelance designer and
illustrator for over three years. During that time, I’ve managed social
media accounts, showcased my work at events, vended at conventions,
and even taken on the role of a teaching assistant—all while balancing my
education. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of
the industry, allowing me to grow both creatively and professionally.

This portfolio is a reflection of that journey. I hope you enjoy exploring it!

SOCIAL MEDIA

Managing social media is more than just posting content—it’s about
creating a strong, engaging presence. As part of my student council,
I handled social media management, ensuring consistent branding
and effective communication.

Alongside this, I took professional portrait photos, capturing the
people behind the council with a polished and professional touch.

PHOTOGRAPHY

For this student council event, I designed wanted
posters for a hide-and-seek challenge, where
participants had to find four hidden council members. I
played with irony by making the posters look serious, yet
the portraits were slightly humorous, adding a playful
twist. Bright colors and bold designs helped set a fun,
engaging atmosphere, making the event even more
exciting.

ILLUSTRA-
TIONS

This section features a range of my best digital
illustrations, from sketches and fully rendered
pieces to commissions, pixel art, and designs
that became stickers. I'm incredibly proud of
this work, as it reflects who I am, my interests,
and my creative journey.

Each piece is a blend of passion, time, and
dedication, showcasing my love for design
and how I choose to express myself. These
illustrations are more than just artwork;
they’re a glimpse into my personality and my
love for design.

Set in the late 1500s. Our massive dumb knight named “Bob” encountered our Chinese-inspired dragon named “Jaws” where Jaws burned Bob which resulted in him being permanently blind. Feeling indebted. Jaws and Bob now travel the world trying to find a cure for Bob’s eyes.

*The reason why the Jaws transforms into a sword for Bob, is because he is too incompetent to wield a proper weapon. Which leads to Jaws controlling his movements, but Bob doesn't know that*

*Bob wears a blindfold because he enjoys it when people underestimate him*

NATIONAL DAY
SERIES

POSTER Design

Background

For this project, I created 7 posters to celebrate National Day, one for
each emirate, with an extra design for the city of Al Qaseem in Saudi
Arabia. Each poster is uniquely tailored to its emirate, incorporating
popular landmarks, colors, and patterns that are strongly associated
with that region. It’s a visual tribute to the identity, pride, and diversity
of the UAE, reflecting my deep connection to the country and its
heritage.

This project features "Mukasarat," a bilingual font I
designed with inspiration from an old Umm Kulthum
album cover. The font is bubbly, bold, and playful, with
letterforms made up of various shapes that resemble
building blocks. It’s like assembling Lego pieces to create
each word. The name "Mukasarat" is derived from an
Arabic term meaning both "mixed nuts" and "something
broken," reflecting how the letterforms come together
as broken pieces, waiting to be assembled.
