About
I've been writing Arabic calligraphy since childhood and hold an ijazah (master's licence) in Thuluth and Naskh. My work blends classical rules with contemporary composition.
I have created pieces for homes, offices and hotels across Kuwait and the Gulf, and I run beginner workshops on the fundamentals of calligraphy.
