A designer's job neither begins nor ends sitting in front of a screen. Meeting clients and identifying their needs, conducting research, and constantly following up with the team constitute the base for a smart and functional design.
Design is your thing, and we will use it against you! Whether you want to redesign the office space, launch a campaign for better coffee at the office, or uplift our social media, we're always up for a change. The office would definitely be less fun without you!

You have good written and verbal communication skills in English, & if you know some Arabic that's even better.
You like playing with dogs and solving lunch-time riddles with the team!
