Hi there! My name is Nour Sarhan and I’m a Senior Designer based in the UAE. My passion is to create and be creative. I excel at conceptualising and creating great design. My goal is to work in a creative environment that embraces unconventional and thought-provoking ideas.
My Design Philosophy
In my view, great design is not just a product of chance but rather the child of meticulous research, out-of-the-box thinking and artistic talent, a harmonious marriage of the formal and conceptual.
