ITP Business Publishing
I was editor of Arabian Computer News, the Middle East’s oldest enterprise IT publication, as well as editor of Network Middle East, during my time at ITP between 2005 and 2008. Having gone through several website revisions, most of my work from this time is no longer online – but cuttings can be provided on request.
Corporate clients and older work
As a freelancer I’ve worked with clients including Phonak Communications, Motivate Publishing, Dubai Tourism, Matter Design, Vision magazine and others.
Prior to becoming a freelancer I worked at Emirates airline as a digital communications controller within Corporate Communications from 2010 to 2013, AdNation Middle East from 2008 to 2010, and ITP Business Publishing from 2005 to 2008 (see above).
Examples of my work for these clients/employers are available on request.
