I am searching for the way to tear it apart...

While also torn between my love for illustration, Arabic typography always seems to have this vague allure...

After graduating with a BS in Graphic Design from the Lebanese American University, I then went on to work for three years as an Art Director with Leo Burnett, Jeddah. Wanting to push my boundaries further, I started lecturing different and numerous Graphic Design courses, for four years now, in Dar Al-Hekma College, Jeddah.

I act as chairwomen of a one committee in the that department. I am responsible for planning the exhibitions. I am part of the committee that is currently revisiting the graphic design college curriculum with the help of Parsons School of Design. Part of what I also work on is organizing screenings, and workshops for young design students, and graduates. I have also participated as a member in several juries, and Design Organizations such as Kahtt Netowork, Artmesh, and Typophile.

Local magazines and newspapers have included some of my work as well featuring a few of the exhibitions I planned. And as an active designer, I have participated in various exhibitions in Beirut, and Jeddah.

I am currently pursuing my Masters. My personal work and thesis continues to be my deep interest in the stereotyping of Arab Women.
