I�m a graphic designer and art-lover who lives in Cairo. Through my bachelor- and pre-master projects, I discovered my love for Egyptian culture. I started to appreciate the importance of knowing how people live, act, eat, dress and connect with one another.
During my Premaster project I worked on reviving old Nubian culture. The outcome of my project was a collection of patterns that are inspired by the Motifs on the Nubian houses. Later on I experimented my patterns on fabrics with different techniques, such as embroidery, woodblock printing and stencil printing. This project was one of the eye opening experiences for me.
I�ve been always interested in personal and professional opportunities to make a positive impact on my society. My dream for the future is to work in the culture section of the UN or another international organization and focus on Egyptian culture. I want to make people aware of our rich culture, history and heritage.
