background
I have always been fascinated by video. Piecing a story together to form a complete visual narrative adds a visceral element to storytelling.
Growing up in Amman, Jordan shaped my perspective in unique ways – being exposed to storytelling in three different languages showed me how video can bridge cultural gaps and speak to people no matter where they're from.
My experience includes horizontal long form and vertical social video formats, illustration and animation, and staying current with social media trends as relevant to my work as a video producer.
