I'm an illustrator and Graphic Designer. Most recently I've been designing at BUCK on everything from Branding, Illustration, Social Media / Marketing Strategy and Web Design. Born and raised in Beirut, Lebanon, my culture and upbringing flow into my projects, bringing to life true depictions of the beauty and chaos of the region. When it comes to my freelance work; projects in the realm of food and music is what I organically gravitate towards and celebrate.
