Hello there! I’m Soumar, a Vienna-bred self-taught digital designer, web developer and Hyper Island alumni. My passion for the creative field has taken me on a journey from here to Stockholm, Dubai and New York. Throughout this memorable trip, I’ve worn many different hats and expanded my skills across multiple disciplines. This is also where my strength lies: I can either push pixels or push code, bring still images to life through animation, or create prototypes and web interfaces—all while keeping the user experience front and center. My approach is straightforward: Understand the core of a problem and then work out an optimal solution that can be achieved through the power of design and technology.
