Being passionate about art and technology, I improved my skills every day and tried to be effective and helpful as much as possible in projects and teams I have worked in. Either being supervisor or an ordinary team member, I always tried to prefer team benefits to personal. While animating characters and supervisory has taken most of my professional life, I also have a good experience in Unreal Engine and VR development.

I help SaaS companies explain their product clearly enough to convert. If your homepage video isn't driving signups, it's usually not a design problem, it's a messaging problem. I fix that. Since 2011, my UAE based team has produced explainer videos for SaaS products, tech startups, and B2B brands across the US, UK, and GCC. We handle the full process: script, voiceover, motion graphics, and delivery. What I specialize in: SaaS product explainer videos (homepage, onboarding, demo) App feature walkthroughs and tutorial videos Product launch and investor pitch videos 2D motion graphics and 3D animation What makes the work different: Most animators animate your script. I help shape the message first, then animate it. That's why clients come back for their next product and the one after that. My process is simple: Script → Visual direction → Animation → Voiceover→ Delivery. No surprises, clear milestones, fast turnaround. Clients usually come to me saying: "Our product is powerful but people don't get it fast enough." That's exactly the problem I solve. To get started, message me with: Your product link Where the video will be used (homepage / onboarding / ads) Your deadline If you already have a script - great. If not, I'll help build one.
