I’m a graphic designer with a Master’s in Graphic Design and Visual Communication from Cambridge, UK, and a Bachelor of Arts from Cologne, Germany.
​
Growing up in New York, with family across Europe and Africa, meant moving between different cultures, languages, and ways of seeing. That mix still shapes how I approach things today; sometimes in obvious ways, but often more quietly in the background.
​
There’s a particular pull towards print and material processes, especially printmaking and traditional techniques like Japanese woodblock printing. Working with physical formats brings a different kind of attention and pace that continues to influence my work more broadly.
​
I work under the name Hope, a variation drawn from the Arabic roots of my name. Carrying the same meaning across languages, it keeps a small connection to where I come from, wherever my work takes me.​
