Experience
Strengths in this role: In the early 2010s, while serving as Art Director on feature films like Man of Steel and In Time, I helped pioneer a methodology called "Holistic World Building." The core principle was simple but radical: we did not design sets; we designed systems. We first established the biological, physical, and social rules of a world, then allowed the visual assets to emerge logically from that DNA.

Role in this company: Expert production designer and art director with 30 years of experience across 26 major studio features, streaming series, and immersive projects. Lead large cross‑disciplinary teams through end‑to‑end virtual production pipelines, integrating real‑time engines (Unreal), digital asset management, and on‑set physical builds to deliver photoreal, data‑rich worlds.
Strengths in this role: I applied the film production pipeline—including advanced visualization and database techniques—to help design a physical space for an advanced technology community center on the Gulf of Aqaba. This complex project required navigating the specialized demands and terminology of architectural firms, engineers, conceptual entertainment designers, and academics, effectively translating abstract creative concepts into tangible, feasible spatial designs.
