I started as a graphic designer at Memac Ogilvy in Jeddah. At GranDesign I became Creative Director, working on Coca-Cola, Nissan, Red Bull, Aramco and Sadia.
Then I crossed into performance marketing, managing six figures a month in US ad spend. The auction taught me what design school didn't. Now I am Co-Founder and Head of AI at Uponly in Dubai.
