Cairo-trained, Washington-based. Thirteen years of taking design from idea to shipped object: World Bank reports with a hundred pages of structure, a fashion identity sewn into woven labels, welding-equipment catalogs built to survive a workshop, and five hundred laser-cut objects made two meters from the balcony they were photographed on.
Bilingual by birth, Arabic and English. The same discipline runs through a hundred-page World Bank report and a bakery menu: a grid, a type system, and a production file that prints clean.
Since 2024, AI has run in the production layer: local language models on Mohamed's own machine, so client-confidential material never leaves it, and custom agents for research, asset prep, and batch QA. This site is one example; the AI practice page says what the models did and what they did not touch.
