I’m a visual communicator with over 8 years of experience in editorial media production, social research, broadcast journalism, and nonprofit marketing. As a Muslim and Egyptian immigrant raised in the United States, inequality and injustice is no stranger to me. From a young age, I’ve been exploring creative ways of making sense of the world, as well as making it a kinder place for all. Today I’m a systems-thinking and research minded creative and occupy a unique position between the media arts and the social sector that has allowed me to advance a number of social causes. I weave together a broad creative skillset, an analytical mind, and a deep belief in the power of visual design to build bridges of understanding, compassion, and empathy for social impact. I founded Ayouni, named after an Arabic expression of love and service, as a means to broaden my own and our collective capacity to connect, collaborate, and create for impact.
