About me...

As you probably already know my name is Waleed Sawalha, I was born in 1983 and currently living in Amman, Jordan. At a very young age I was always interested in design and through my time at college I decided I would like to pursue a career as a graphic designer. Knowing this is what I wanted to do I studied Graphic Design at State University of New York in Lebanon and graduated in 2005.

I am fluent in Arabic and English. I love Japanese language, but didn't master it yet. I am fascinated by Japanese culture, when I was a kid I wanted to grow up to be a samurai. In my free time I like to play videogames, listen to music, go swimming, watch movies/animes, read books, make sculptures and draw.

Experience...

When I was still at school I started working in a computer store due to my high interest in computers and technology. This then allowed me to gain work experience in an area I am intrigued about but also allowed me to build some experience in computers and people skills. After I graduated in early 2005 I had my first job as a graphic designer in May 2005 working for an advertising agency and have continued my career as a graphics designer since then.
