About

I tailor each brand and campaign to its audience, then bring it to life in how the brand speaks, looks and shows up online.

My path started on set, grew through visual storytelling for a luxury department store, and led me to run marketing and social media end to end. Today I plan the strategy, then design, shoot, edit and post the content, while directing designers, editors and media buyers.

Banat Nareng

From pre-launch to live

Joined in January to build the launch strategy, then led marketing and social media through launch. I created the full content and directed the brand's identity on social: a five-phase launch plan, every post designed in Arabic and English, weekly video and influencer briefs, partnerships and paid media direction.

Campaign

Kinda Chic To

Breaking the taboos, gracefully

A bilingual series reframing the things women are told to keep quiet about: periods, menopause, pumping at work, body shame. Each post pairs a confident English line with its Arabic twin, written for the Saudi audience rather than translated for it.

Kinda chic to correct anyone who calls it the age of despair
Kinda chic to say I'm on my period out loud
Kinda chic to just be a woman
Kinda chic to pump breast milk at work without apologizing
Kinda chic to use a tampon, cup or disc
Kinda chic to say shame doesn't apply to your own body
Content series

One brand, many conversations

Saudi role models, cycle literacy, a first-period kit for girls, and a space to talk. Designed in-house within the brand system, every claim researched.

Sarvam School of Yoga

Setting a standard in yoga education

Launching Sarvam's teacher-training school under the Sarvam Yoga brand. An earthy, paper-textured identity built to feel classical and credible: carousels on the school's pillars and its Ashtanga foundation, plus the ongoing Sarvam Sanskrit Series.

Behind the content, the numbers

Creative work only counts when it moves something. This is how I measure it, build the people around it, and run a campaign from brief to report.

Campaigns & films

Social video · Sarvam Yoga

Meet the teachers

A face for every practice

A series of around 12 short films introducing each teacher through their own practice, in their own space. I directed the campaign and the edit, giving the studio a human face on social and driving ~30% follower growth and ~25% engagement growth.

Sarvam Yoga × The Racket Concept

A new branch, minutes away

Launching Sarvam's classes on the padel courts of The Racket Concept. The film places the new branch "minutes away" from every corner of Beirut, then drops into the practice on court. I directed the campaign, the shoot and the edit.

We Are L'avo

The Christmas campaign

A festive campaign built around The Gathering Box and the café's signature drinks: close, hand-held moments that make sharing the point. Its companion film, Dear Future Me, invited guests to write a letter to their future selves that L'avo would bring back to them. I directed, filmed and edited both, start to finish.
