PERSONAL NOTES
Many may find my age contradicting my experience, but I pledge all is true. I am a hard working motivated kid
who truly put all his time, effort and thought when completing projects and tasks. I have been lucky and very
fortunate to be given the chance to to work with leading companies in TwoFour54. Completing my internship
at Brand Moxie I have gained great experience in intelligent marketing and event planning. Working to coordinate outside my comfort zone and learning new things.
I have gained so much being with Ajyaal Media, a true agency that embraces Emirati culture and traditions in
the form of art. I started as a graphic design intern and quickly rose up to being hired 3 months later, I was responsible for client work such as designing wall, floor, table and interior designs for popular public events in Abu Dhabi.
Hands on work for the popular 999 Kids Magazine series, designing pages, and finalizing them for print. I was in
charge of coordinating creative ideas for upcoming projects. My outstanding efforts in the company have led to
my promotion for a new role in the company by the board and directors, my role being in the creative department,
I involved myself in the business aspects by managing other coming interns, attending client meetings, and
producing proposal for possible ideas and future projects. These works has fortunately promoted me to Associate
Producer in the company, I have gotten the experience at coming at projects not only from a creators point of view,
but also a business strategic mindset.
Aside from working, I have completed my high school 1 year earlier than my Graduate year.. this allowed me to
take on working at TwoFour54, I decided to take a Gap Year from my college to pursue my ambitions. I have not
not doubted the decision till this day, I am a promising candidate with almost 2 years of on field real work experience. Moving forward, I am also a writer on Tempo Magazine and highly interactive with the activities in the
creative community around the UAE.
