“Tell us about your journey as an artist. How did it begin?”
It started as a lifelong hobby as a toddler-lifestyle. Then one contest led to another that the family encouraged me to take part in as a school kid to take part in inter-school, national and international contests that it became a part of my life even when I was studying in university in some other disciplines like Mathematics as precursor to being an engineer and business school.
And then I realized before getting into a management job anywhere I knew I had to get to work from the lower ranks to understand how to one day manage any business and that would make me more empathetic to the team and circles / markets I work within. To work mostly with inclusivity and tolerance.
“What has been your experience in the UAE market?”
In 1999, I got introduced to the UAE market through the best employer one could wish for to understand the UAE market in the creatives and to stay close to government sentimentalities – ETISALAT.
“How is a typical business day as an artist like?”
“It starts with writing down my ideas for a lifestyle video or content for a story or picture book.”
“What are your other hobbies and interests?”
“(a.) World Economics and Politics (b.) Nutritional Studies and research paper reports. (c.) Art/Tech Software apps. (d.) Subject of Dogs :o)”
“What would your advice be for aspiring UAE entrepreneurs?”
“Be consistent with goals with focus and be prepared to define oneself to stand out every 3 months. As disruptions from technology and competition can get overwhelming, if one does not stay competitive with their acquired skill sets they can get run-over.”
“Do tell us about some of your favourite or interesting projects.”
“I enjoy making illustration and animation on technology / technical themes. And training videos.”
