I was born in Iraq, lived there until I was 14 years old and left with my family in 1978 to settle in London, UK.

Graduating with a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design from Middlesex Polytechnic (now University) in 1989, I have been working in this field since my student days.

Since 2001 I have been working for Abu Dhabi TV in the UAE and before that I worked for BBC Television in London for seven years as part of the Graphic Design team serving the various news programmes.

Prior to that I worked in a daily newspaper and had my own design studio producing everything from corporate identity to packaging to annual reports for major banks.

My passion is typography and calligraphy, whether it is in English or Arabic, both are fascinating and beautiful.

I still enjoy working in print as well as television work and the Internet. Apart from designing the work I also put it together to produce the finished product whether it is TV, Print or Web work.
