About me
About me
I am a graphic designer and freelancer, passionate about art in general. I grew up drawing and painting and it always has been my way of expression. I love music - you'll never catch me without earphones in my ears. I also love reading and writing: basically, anything that can inspire me and help me escape into my creative head and thoughts is what I look for.
Why Beirut
Well, why not Beirut? I mean, with all its chaos, how can you not love her? She's art, she has a symphony of her own. The people, the food, the nightlife, the blend of people of all backgrounds... her culture stands out, you cannot come to Beirut without feeling at home and the urge to try something new.
Yes, I refer to my Beirut as a she, cause she's my motherland. In her streets lie my favorite memories. She's where I learned how to live freely, and experience life to the fullest. In every street you go to you'll see a part of its people and generosity, the art on the walls, the exhibitions, the small food places, the pubs, the music, the hustle. It will all hit you once you step on her land, only then will you understand.
Where else can you find me online?

Bedo
Sujuk shawarma sandwiches
"Bedo" in Beirut makes the best sujuk and basterma sandwiches around. Honestly, the taste reminds me of good old childhood memories - and fun nights out!
