*Ah, the classic 'caught off guard' photo.

Hi, I'm Yamen

You might think my name rhymes with ‘ramen,’ but trust me—my creativity packs way more flavor than instant noodles! I’m Yamen: a UK-born, Cairo-raised, Hamburg-settled Senior Art Director with a BFA in Graphic Design.

For 15+ years, I’ve brewed bold ideas and crafted award-winning campaigns with global teams, earning over 350+ international awards—including D&AD, Red Dot Gold, Cannes Lion Gold, and the Clio Grand Prix. Whether it’s shaping visual identities or unforgettable brand experiences, I thrive on pushing creative boundaries."
