I graduated in 1998 with a bachelors of Construction Engineering Major and Art Minor from The American University in Cairo. Having been the university's newspaper comic page editor and contributor for 5 years, I first went on to work as an engineer for a year before permanently reverting to my passion of drawing and art in general.
In January 2000 I travelled to Vancouver, Canada, to study Classical Animation & Maya for two years at Vancouver Film School, and graduated with an Excellence & Recommendation Degrees and two graduation short films that went on to festivals in Canada and France. I then returned to Cairo and worked with several graphics, post-production and television companies both as a freelancer and on permanent basis before starting my own post-production company, Yaru - Field of Dreams, around 2006.
Four years later, in December 2010, I moved to Dubai to work for Fox International Channels, first as Senior GFX Artist and then progressing to become Manager of On Air Promotion of National Geographic television channels for the Middle East and North Africa regions (the company was also acquired by Disney during that period).
In January 2024 I moved to Middlesbrough in the United Kingdom to pursue my artistic and storytelling passions by doing an MA in Comics and Graphic Novels at Teesside University. This masters will be concluded in May 2025.
