I am a multidisciplinary designer, educator, and curator with a B.A. in Graphic Design from San Diego State University (Class of 2020). As an Arab American creative, my work is deeply informed by themes of identity, cultural memory, and visual storytelling. My academic training covered a wide spectrum of design disciplines, including branding and corporate identity, publication and book design, motion graphics, environmental and exhibition design, web/app interface development, broadcast graphics, and typeface design. This comprehensive education gave me a strong foundation in both conceptual design thinking and technical execution across print and digital platforms.

As a Graphic Design Instructor at Grossmont College, I integrate this diverse skill set into my teaching practice—mentoring students in visual communication, layout, design software, and identity-driven storytelling. I’ve led students in the development and exhibition of their work, most notably through their participation in the 2025 Student Show and in collaborative faculty-supported exhibitions at the Hyde Art Gallery, including the IN•SIGHT Faculty Exhibition. I also coordinate educational field trips to regional institutions like the museums of Balboa Park, helping students engage with professional curatorial practices and gallery operations.

Outside academia, I work independently as a freelance designer, where I’ve created original illustration-based collections and curated my own solo display at events like the 2024 KPLAY Fest Expo in Orange County. There, I was responsible for designing, installing, and presenting my personal artwork—including illustrative prints, merchandise, and original paintings—in a cohesive and audience-focused mini-exhibition. This freelance work allows me to explore narrative, entrepreneurship, and brand development in public, design-forward settings.

Blending design education, real-world creative work, and exhibition experience, I’m passionate about shaping visual narratives that connect deeply with people—whether through teaching, curating, or independent design.
