UAE Creative
I used to work as a director and promo producer at UAE Television, Ajman. However, when they closed the TV channel, I initially faced difficulty finding a job with companies citing me as overqualified. Fortunately, I got an opportunity to teach Adobe InDesign at Zabeel International Institute of Management and Technology. This software is essential for publishers, and my teaching expanded to include Adobe After Effects and other graphics software. Having expertise in 3D modeling and animation from working on four animated English films in India, I started a career teaching 3D animation and modeling.
In the UAE, the demand for entertainmentbased 3D cartoon character animation is picking up but the focus is primarily on architectural visualization for interior and building design. To reach more students, I taught at various institutes like Zabeel, Cybermodo, and Optimizer. However, constant travel became cumbersome, so I decided to teach from a single location. That›s when I joined Rolla Academy in Bur Dubai. With the arrival of the pandemic, conducting face-to-face classes became challenging, so I shifted to teaching online. This led to the establishment of Dhrona Design Academy, where I offer online courses in graphic software, 3D modeling, animation, video editing, and interior design. The positive response from my previous students and others motivated me to pursue this path further.
