BIO:

My background is actually in sculpture and contemporary Fine Art , but I've been working in Film and Design almost exclusively for the past three and half years.

I've been very lucky to have been able to put all the skills I have learned to good use in my career, skills such as animation and CGI, film, film editing, Photoshop manipulation, web and logos, and designing posters.


WHAT I DO:

I design striking logos, websites, animations and photo-real Computer Generated Images using 3D software.

As a designer, I am always searching for new ideas, new angles and fresh inspiration to make my designs and works as creative, interesting and engaging as possible. Those ideas can come from all sorts of places, even walking in the park or grocery shopping, though they are not always so easy to find, but my eyes are always seeking out the unusual and the striking.


EDUCATION:

n
M.A In Media & Communications at the Leeds Metropolitan University. (ongoing)

n
 BA (Hons) TV and Film Design at the University of Lincoln.

n
 Foundation Degree,  Contemporary Fine Art (Creative Arts and Computer Illustration) at the University of Lincoln.

n
 BTEC National Diploma in Sculpture and Painting at the Institute of Fine Art, Duhok, Kurdistan.

n
 BTEC National Diploma in Web Design and Developing, with Dreamwave HTLM. (But I didn’t finished the course!)
SKILLS:

My favourite software includes Cinema4D, Poser, After Effect, Photoshop CS4 (in both 32 & 64bit), Illustrator CS4, Dreamweaver and Adobe Flash, but I also like to dabble with other design and animation tools.



INTERESTS:

Animation, film-making (drama and documentary), acting, web design, creative art, travelling,  languages, Kurdish folk music, and Kurdish food.



LANGUAGES:

I speak English, Kurdish (Sorani, Badini and Kurmanji), Arabic and German). Being multilingual  helps me a lot to develop my ideas and draw inspiration from many different cultures, as well as allowing me to communicate my ideas to and network with many different people from around the world.



PROJECTS:

n
The Legend of Kawa the Blacksmith was my first animated feature film, working in partnership with Stuart Palmer as Splash Animations, with the cooperation of the Goodwin Development Trust. It has been released on commercial DVD through Elevation Sales. Click here for more details about the film.
