About me

I am an experienced talent in the design and advertising industry, with 15 years of experience, 11 of which have been spent in the dynamic market of the UAE. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with some of the region's most reputable companies, including Arada, Dubai Holding Asset Management, and Wunderman.

At Arada, I worked across various sectors such as residential (Armani Residence, W Residence, Anantara), retail brands(Boost Australia, Artal, ZAD), fitness and wellness (Wellfit - the biggest gym in the Middle East), contributing to the company’s growth and brand presence.

My time at Dubai Holding Asset Management allowed me to engage actively with notable business hubs like Dubai Media City, Internet City, and Knowledge Village, as well as iconic retail destinations like Bluewaters, JBR, Outlet Village, Al Seef, and Last Exit. I also managed multiple projects within the residential sector.

During my time at Wunderman, I handled accounts of Dubai Tourism and Dubai Holding, further cementing my reputation in the industry. My portfolio includes collaborations with a diverse range of high-profile local and international clients such as Dubai Culture & Art, Dubai Municipality, UAE Armed Forces, Emirates REIT, Al Naboodah, WWF, British Council, Daniel Wellington, McGettigans, DMCC, African & Eastern, Corona, Sofitel, Seddiqi Holding, and Media One.
