My name is Yasmina,

I’m currently an Art Director at Momentum, Dubai. I’ve collaborated with many talents within the industry with over 7 years of experience in advertising in the Middle East, my specialty in illustration led to successful art direction in storytelling for campaigns for major brands.

By blending my specialized background in illustration with strategic storytelling, I’ve created successful campaigns for major global and regional brands such as Toyota, Subway and Yas Island. I believe that whether captured in a single frame or a film, a well-crafted story is the shortest distance between two people, reminding us of the human experiences we all share.
