Wa'el A. Ashmar | Professional Overview

Introduction..
Things are measured by their results, but there are mainly two ways to achieve it; one is the traditional way, which guarantees – to a large extent – the expected and desired results, where the other way includes what is innovative and revolutionary – not without adventure – it has always ended in unprecedented successes. Personally speaking, I’m disposed to the last one.

Being a visual communication entrepreneur, with +23 years of experience, I guarantee Fully-Fledged Branding and Corporate Design Services, I'm responsible for the design, art direction, and management of all the clients' product lines, managing all aspects of development including brand identity, art direction, editorial, lettering, video production, web design, social media content, mobile apps, and media planning.
