Career highlights
With almost 5 years of experience, I’ve done a lot that I can be proud of. In less than a year at Blue Barracuda, I’ve handled and been the creative lead on multiple clients such as the Mohamed Bin Rashid Innovation Fund, Haagendazs, Diot-Siaci, Masdar City, and Taraf Holding. I helped design and create MBRIF’s first Metaverse space, which was launched and broadcasted during Gitex 2022, managed a full 360 Winter Campaign for Haagendazs, and worked on pitches that helped win clients. It’s been an accelerated learning curve filled with challenges and finding new ways of tackling them.
Guiding principles
My guiding principles are integrity, honesty, and never working against my own moral code, I have a strong commitment to ethical behavior and a desire to always do what is right – and that my work should never come between that, prioritizing principles over personal gain.
Side hustle
Not really a side hustle, but I have a passion for travel and discovering the world whenever I can get the chance (and have enough savings) Trying to tick everything off my bucket list and maybe even more than once!
