My name is Abdelrahman from Cairo, Egypt.
Let me tell you the story ...
Drawing is my hobby and that dragged me to learn graphics design, then I heard about freelancing jobs and tried to take my graphic design skill to the next level by offering my services on the freelancing platforms, and proudly started to gain income by creating many logo design projects.
During my first steps to gain professional experience and income, I knew that I need to improve my communications skills, and searched for places to help me to be in touch with people. So, in 2018 I have worked as an indoor salesperson at “Primadona” cosmetics stores, and after a while, the store needed someone to design some printed materials, and they were surprised when they know that I can do that job, and I did the needed work in a good way; then they needed someone to create the store Social media pages and manage it, and this was the starting point of my journey in social media marketing and I officially my role at “Primadona” changed to Social media marketing and graphics designer.
Besides that, I participated in a lot of activities as a volunteer to gain more experience by using my skills in design and marketing and at the same time increasing my social work activities.
To improve my skills in marketing in an academic way, I’ve got a certificate from HubSpot Academy in “Inbound Marketing”, and another certificate in “Digital Marketing” from Google, and the knowledge that I gained gave me the opportunity to work with new clients as a social media marketer and designer like “Modecore Factory” that based in Saudi Arabia, and “Egy-Con” anime/gaming event that takes place in Egypt.
In 2021 I have started my educational journey with “FWD Egypt” initiative and its collaboration with Udacity, and that give me the chance to discover new topics in the technical field by taking “Data analysis” and “Web development” challenger level tracks, but my main target was the digital marketing track, so I have got all its levels that consists of "Challenger", "Professional", and "Advanced" levels.
Regarding my main hobby, drawing, I returned to practice and improve it from time to time, and last October, I participated in “InkTober 2021” challenge by drawing 31 sketches in 31 days in a row.
Now, I’m in the last year of my academic education at the faculty of law, but I’m flying in the creative sky in search of great entities and teams to join it and build success stories together ... are you ready to take this challenge with me?
