As I embark on my career journey after graduating from university, I am thrilled to pursue my passion for fashion, specifically in the fields of styling and creative direction. What truly excites me about this path is the power to create something incredibly dynamic and breathtaking, all while using art to communicate meaningful messages to people.

I was responsible for creating content for El Diar's social media accounts, which includes tasks like photoshoots, styling, and video production. Additionally, I was organising photoshoots by coordinating with models, photographers, and locations, while also contributing to the styling and creative direction. I was in charge of the final output of campaign shoots, editing images and videos using tools like Photoshop and Premiere Pro. Moreover, I planed feed mock-ups for social media to ensure a visually appealing and consistent aesthetic.

I have recently completed my Master's degree at the University of Leeds, where I focused on Advertising and Design. Throughout this academic journey, I significantly enhanced my creative direction skills and deepened my understanding of effective photoshoot planning.
