About me
Sometimes, the best way to pen a self-portrait is through the medium of an analogy. I’m a bit like a kebab shop. Like those who are employed by these shops, I work through issues methodologically, and I’m completely passionate about what I do. Just as the meat that spins consistently on a heated skewer, I’m a product of a mix of ingredients. My hybrid upbringing in Dubai has allowed for me to have worked with such a great mix of people and nationalities as a result of the city’s geographical location to the world. Just like the ordering process, I don’t see different languages as a barrier to my work. Most importantly, I’m always open and there whenever you need me. I bring culture, warmth, reliability and creativity to the table, regardless of whether it be wooden or plastic.Additional skills:
