Mohamed Alhelw — Creative Manager & Art Director

Mohamed trained as a civil engineer. He spent the years since building things a different way — motion graphics, brand identity, campaign direction. He founded his first studio in Alexandria at twenty-four, taught Adobe and AutoCAD on the side, and has since directed creative for advertising agencies, mega-event activations, and now a heritage watch house in Riyadh. The tools kept changing — Photoshop to Spark AR to AI image generation — the job never did: decide what the frame should say, then make sure it says it.
