MY RESUME
I was born into a family of internationally renowned artists. With creativity deeply rooted in my upbringing, I followed a path that blended both artistic passion and technical discipline.
I pursued my higher education in Aerospace Engineering at Northrop University, located in California, USA. I pursued after a drastic change a my higher education in Aerospace Engineering Technology @ the same Northrop University near LAX LA CA, USA. During my time back then, I began to explore and develop my own unique artistic style, some modeling and some beach fun like the locals and more of the continuation of my life, like and after Kuwait.
Over the years, I have created and published numerous works, many of which are now distributed through my growing brand, Stepan Graphics—a long-term vision for both business and retirement. My work has been showcased at trade shows and art fairs throughout the greater Los Angeles area, and across several other states in the U.S.
After returning to Kuwait, I continued my artistic journey and some real-estate with renewed focus, expanding my exhibitions and commercial works by reaching new audiences locally and regionally. Even with sad moments of no customers in International life on the news of our lonely planet in space and deprivation by luck and needed intelligence; to be flexible.
Today, I work in the airline industry, with Flydubai’s branch Landing Station in Kuwait and back and forth to Dubai and some onward after that. While enjoying life day by day at a time – balancing a full time career, while nurturing my passion for creative art and steadily putting together a multifaceted profile as an engineer, artist and entrepreneur in the Aerospace economy for the countries through the social media mostly, emails and so on…..
