Interests & Self View:
I like flying, music, push-bikes, swimming, skiing, food and design. I grew-up in Qatar and Abu Dhabi but came back to the UK to go to the kind of school where I was able pursue a varied curriculum. Later, I did a university course that was not available to me when I was younger. I was interested by new technologies and gained a better sense of aesthetic from being at college. When I finished the degree, I started producing graphics using Computers. I am a happy and enthusiastic person and I really enjoy my work. You can take a look at my personal website below.
