To me, motion and graphic design was not just a hobby, but a great zeal, where I dedicated my time and effort going through this journey, so adopting it as my future profession was a decision I took without any hesitation. I kept motivating myself and seeking the professionalism that I'd gained through courses and special programs in addition to working with various specialized companies. It was where I ended up graduating with a bachelor's degree in Advertising and Public Relations. Today and after 15 continuous years of mastering graphic and motion designing, I still have that growing passion which I designed in such a way it has no end.
