Art and Design are in my Blood.
I have graduated from the Fine Arts Faculty in Alexandria Egypt( where i was born and grew up) as a Scenographer/ Set Designer.
Scenography is my greatest passion, i love to work on stage, currently i work as a scenographer for Babylon Troupe exclusively,a n international independant theater group that i am part of ,but i am also doing free lance work when i get the chance.
I love to work in unusaul spaces and spaces that are not a theater stage..theater is an experience of light, sound set and costume and 1st of all is performance.. -
