I help businesses solve brand, digital and communication problems, from strategy and identity through to websites, business systems, packaging, presentations and ongoing digital support. With more than 20 years of experience, I combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution. That means I can help define what needs to change, build the solution, and make sure the different parts of the business work together rather than becoming disconnected projects. What I can help with • Brand strategy, positioning and identity • Logo design and brand systems • Website strategy, UX, design and development • Digital platforms, forms, workflows and business systems • Packaging, labels and print production • Presentations, proposals, tenders and corporate documents • Digital marketing strategy, campaigns and content systems • Creative direction and ongoing brand support I work with startups, established businesses, agencies and corporate organisations. My experience includes senior creative and strategic work for corporate and government clients in Qatar, as well as hands-on brand, website, packaging and digital projects for growing businesses. I currently serve as Design Director at Foresight Communications Qatar, where my work includes brand strategy, annual reports, corporate communications, tender and presentation work, and creative direction across high-level government and corporate projects. My strength is the ability to move between strategy and execution. I can look at the wider business problem, identify what is actually needed, and then help build the brand, digital experience and supporting materials or systems around it. If you need someone who can take ownership of more than one isolated design task and help connect the bigger picture, let’s talk.
