BIOGRAPHY

"Since the beginning of my career, I’ve focused on channeling my talent and creativity into meaningful and powerful results. I take pride in the Arabic language and the work I do as an Arabic Calligraphy Artist.
​
I started mastering calligraphy 8 years ago by learning all classic fonts through online courses then I took it to a more professional level by taking intensive courses in various fonts with the world-class calligrapher Mr. Mothana Al Obaidi (@mothanaalobaydi_art).
​
I've taken my professional journey even further by mastering digital design and learning ADOBE (Ai, Ps, Ae) to digitalize and enhance my handmade work for commercial projects." - Agaty
