Α Lebanese designer who graduated from Notre Dame University with a BA in Graphic Design and later acquired a Masters Degree in Visual Communication with an emphasis in Type and Language from Central Saint Martins, London.

Fruit of research I started during my MA, the book introduces Arabic script to westerners by bridging Arabic and Latin typography using the Arabic and Latin Mirsaal Type family, which I developed specifically for this purpose.

One of my current projects includes working with a local institute for Arabic as a second language on developing an Arabic typeface to ease the learning of Arabic.
