Hey there :)
This is Mike Menz, but you can just call me Menz
Senior creative, art director, and designer based in Dubai, with roots in Egypt.

While my journey began with numbers and figures in the world of commerce, but let's just say I quickly
realized my canvas wasn't confined to balance sheets and profit margins. I've come a long way to
 master both the trade and the tricks dedicated to my creative talent.

With over 10  years of experience in advertising, visual communication, and design. 
I grew overly ambitious and passionate about all things creative.
I have a penchant for the visual aspect of communication, storytelling, conceptual arts,
and branding both new and existing brands.

But here's the twist: by day, I'm crafting some creative work that turn heads, and by night,
 I'm a Lego-building maestro, piecing together thoughts one block at a time. 
Because why stop creating when the sun goes down?
