Originally from Baghdad, Iraq—the heart of civilization—I am a proud Mesopotamian 🇮🇶. As a visual identity designer and communication specialist, I’m passionate about crafting impactful, memorable visuals 🎨. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve worked across diverse sectors, including public and private organizations, humanitarian aid, youth empowerment, and capacity-building initiatives.

Beyond design, I’m an avid traveler 🌍 with a love for discovering new cities and their rich heritage 🏛️. I enjoy capturing the essence of these places through street photography 📸, which lets me connect with the vibrant stories of each city and its people. I find peace by the sea and rivers 🌊, and I’m endlessly curious about traditions and diverse cultures. Flying and planes are close to my heart ✈️; the excitement of travel is as thrilling as the destinations themselves!

I also have a deep appreciation for art, history, and literature 📚. Writing and reading poems in Arabic gives me a special connection to my culture and roots. Literature, in all its forms, is a source of inspiration and solace for me.

My dedication to creating change extends to my volunteer work. I’ve been involved in emergency aid, youth development, and social cohesion projects 🤝, where I use my skills to support communities and contribute to a better world.
