Career highlights
I majored in web design, but my career catapulted me into the wider communications sphere. My growth journey began when I started working on the Aramco account. I’ve developed my design, art direction, social media, management, and leadership skills, and worked on award-winning campaigns. I am resourceful and known for my can-do attitude. I am also detail-oriented, which is crucial even if some find it annoying. I thrive when I learn something new and push the boundaries of what I can achieve. Today, I oversee campaigns from concept to production and mentor junior designers to help them grow.
Guiding principles
“Whatever sparks the stars in you, chase that, and never let go.”
Keeping the flame alive drives me forward, and I do that by continuously learning and challenging myself. It’s through self-development that one can excel, and it’s a principle that benefits me immensely every day.
Side hustle
I love everything related to handicrafts and DIY projects. I don’t always buy craft supplies because I need them, but because they are pretty, and I have no self-control.
Let’s not even get into my love for collecting kitchen gadgets, that’s another story I cannot fit into my 50-word limit.
