What I'm looking for
Full-time motion design and 3D roles — in Dubai and across the UAE, in the wider Gulf, or remote internationally. I also take on select freelance and contract work alongside that: a graphics package, a title sequence, a product film. The roles where I'm most useful:
- Senior Motion Designer / Motion Graphics Designer — broadcast, streaming or brand teams shipping continuously.
- Broadcast Graphics Designer — news and programme packages, idents, on-air systems, live-gallery delivery.
- 3D Artist / 3D Motion Designer — Blender-based modelling, lighting and rendering for screen.
- Title & Identity Designer — show openers, channel branding, visual identity systems.
- AI Creative Technologist / Generative Video — teams building generative production into a real pipeline rather than experimenting on the side.
What I bring to a team
- Broadcast delivery discipline — work that goes to air on schedule, in the right format, in a system someone else can extend.
- Genuine 2D and 3D range: Blender build through to After Effects finish, without handing off in the middle.
- Native-quality Arabic and English typographic work — a real constraint in this region and a rare pairing.
- A working generative-AI pipeline, proven on an entire broadcast title sequence, not just on tests.
- Identity thinking: logo, motion language, studio graphics and social cutdowns designed as one thing.

For recruiters and hiring managers
If you're screening for a specific stack, the honest summary is: After Effects and Blender 3D at professional depth, Premiere Pro, Photoshop and Illustrator as daily tools, and a working generative-AI video pipeline including Runway ML. Comfortable in a broadcast environment with fixed transmission deadlines, and comfortable owning a project from brief to delivery without a producer in between.
