Lengthily
I was born and raised in Kuwait. Being bilingual informs my creative process. My fluency in two languages allows me to maintain a flexible and a hybrid approach when it comes to ideation and problem solving. I have found that I come up with vibrant and different concepts when brainstorming bilingually; and I have developed it as a habit to maintain a playful yet an ever changing approach.
I reinforced my hand skills and attention to detail while apprenticing for Katie Baldwin in her Philadelphia based letterpress & printmaking studio. In a year I learned to letterpress and worked closely with type since I cleaned wood-type and distributed mountains of lead-type onto job-cases (the letterpress drawers with tiny compartments for each letter/ number/ mark in the alphabet).
