A DESIGNER WHO BUILDS IN 3D

From visual communication
to immersive worlds.

I’m a Visual Communication graduate from Jordan with a strong focus on 3D art. My work combines design thinking with hands-on production, from modeling and sculpting to texturing, lighting and environment art. I enjoy creating assets and spaces that feel intentional, believable and ready to exist inside a larger world.
