About

Hello, my name is Mohamad Elaasar, and I am a graphic designer, illustrator and animator currently based in London. I create colourful and bold designs through various skillsets within graphic design. I am especially skilled at studying the brands I work with carefully to fully understand their goals and desired outcome. I know very well that a strong brand instantly sparks a feeling, and capturing those feelings makes the brand last forever. My goal is to create bright and evocative designs that push the envelope of artistry with a sense of lightness.
