Akbar Ali Shaik Umar GenHQ certified

Great design isn't decoration it's how a brand earns trust before a single word is read. I'm a Design Lead & Creative Director with 10+ years across the UAE, Kuwait, and India. Currently running end-to-end creative for MBG Corporate Services, Dubai brand, social, Meta/Google Ads, and video production. Previously directed creative at Deloitte Digital on global campaigns, and led a 30+ designer team at Adpro Media Solutions, delivering work for clients like Gannet, Living and Life Magazine. I pair core design craft typography, color, layout with AI-powered tools (Kling, Veo 3, Google Gemini) to move fast without losing quality. I've built my career on mentoring designers and setting the systems that keep creative output consistent at scale. Recognized with Deloitte's Bolt Award for creative excellence and team growth. Open to Creative Director / Design Lead roles across the UAE & GCC. Always happy to connect with fellow designers, marketers, and brand teams
