Currently, I’m working for an Arabic Cultural Institution (Egyptian Academy in Rome). It’s been several years since I immersed myself in this international environment, where I found good inspiration for my projects and many different people with whom to deal with various aspects. Here I am responsible for creating and developing our institutional magazine, which serves as a sponsor for all of our activities
Through my efforts, I have successfully rebuilt the magazine’s design and layout to better align with the preferences of the readership. In addition, I have single-handedly crafted each activity’s graphic line.
Although I have yet to gain much professional experience in UX/UI design, I am enthusiastic about learning and improving my skills in this area. I am involved in several personal projects that allow me to apply my knowledge and enhance my abilities.
My eagerness for this field and my commitment to continuous growth motivate me to strive for excellence and succeed.
Previously I worked for Walk In - Advertising and Marketing Agency. Through my time at this agency, I have gained significant professional and personal growth, allowing me to advance confidently.
I have created some impressive work, including advertising banners for an Art Gallery in Rome published on il Messaggero Additionally, I collaborated on designing the institutional brochure for FRIMM Group and some of their company logos. In addition, I enjoyed a team designing promotional material for RoadHouse and Warner Bros, Polli, and Coccolino
I began my academic education at La Sapienza University, where I pursued a degree in industrial design. During my time there, I had the opportunity to work on a project for a Portuguese start-up, where I was able to create their brand identity. This project was significant to me as it was the first time I had made something worthwhile, and it proved to be a successful challenge.
Then I took time to deepen the art printing techniques, like linocut and editorial practices, after immersing myself in the intensive ArtLab program, which focused on the languages of graphic art. Finally, I understood the significance of conducting extensive research and comprehending the project to produce an outstanding and engaging result.
During these years, I began building my professional experience by working briefly with Umana Creative Studio. While there, I focused on creating logos, designing flyers, and even delved into illustration work.
I seek fresh opportunities and challenges to aid my growth and offer stimulating professional experiences.
My ultimate goal is to obtain a role that will enable me to direct all of my energy and passion toward achieving success.

This is an app to pre-order an album from a specific Indie Rock Band.
Our goals are to create an easy-to-use app and a community inside the same app, so the user can continue to use the app after the shipping to remain updated about the band.
THE PROBLEM
You only needed an app like this to pre-order the album; after that, the app is useless.
THE GOAL
We aim to create a community where users can communicate about the band inside the app. In this way, they can keep using the app.
UNDERSTAND THE USERS
The user research is mainly based on interviews. We need to understand better who the users are and how the product can meet the user’s needs. We need to keep the user on the app not only for the primary function but also need to find an added value.
THE DESIGN
The general idea is to have a page with very few elements. Although the main components should be more visible, I like having a full background with the cover album when possible. Font
MONTESERRAT REGULAR - BOLD
Most written content utilizes this widely recognized and effortless-to-read sans serif font.
