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 6 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

MIXING HANDMADE & DIGITAL DESIGNS
Occasionally, I like to mix handmade with digital; handmade for originality and digital for crisp results for logos, 3D Projects, and commercial designs or artworks
"I believe that Arabic Calligraphy has the ability to give anything a new dimension of beauty and elegance. That's why I take the opportunity and challnege to work in different areas."
