I am Jordanian, I live in Saudi Arabia, and I work in Arabic and English across the MENA region. I build things that bring people together, and I call it BUILD IT HUMAN. ## What I do Three things, and they feed each other. I design brands: visual identities, brand systems, and the strategy underneath them. I build communities: I start them, grow them, and keep them alive between events. I design products: web and mobile interfaces, including my own, which is how I stay honest about deadlines and tradeoffs. Since 2023 I have been Brand and Community Manager at MeemAin, where I lead design for educational products used by more than 45,000 children aged 7 to 12, including a financial literacy game built with the Saudi Central Bank and Al Ahli Bank. Before that I did brand and go-to-market work at MAZJ and Onex, and spent four years at Zain Jordan building the Zain Innovation Campus programs. ## Design Battlefield In 2018 I started Design Battlefield, a design hackathon where people compete on real briefs, against a clock, in front of a room. It ran for eight editions between 2018 and 2022: posters, packaging, Bauhaus, merchandise, branding, communication design, book design, and finally wall murals in Saudi Arabia. By the eighth edition it had drawn more than 5,000 attendees, grown a community past 40,000 members, and pulled in participants from Jordan, Egypt, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia. The full story, including the unglamorous years before it, is in the long write-up on the blog. ## Before and alongside I co-founded Design Family in 2015, a design education initiative that ended up serving more than 1,000 designers and earned a fellowship at Badir along the way. I started She Designer to put women designers on stage as speakers, after noticing how few were applying. I brought the Egyptian designer Farid Omara to Amman for a talk that sold out at double the venue's capacity, more than 500 people in the room. I co-host Ftoor Designer, a podcast for designers and creatives. Ftoor means breakfast, and the show is exactly that: long, unhurried conversations. When the events pause, the conversations keep the community warm. ## How I work now I use AI in brand, design, and marketing work every day, and I think it should make design more human, not less. I ship my own experiments constantly, each one on its own osama.me subdomain, and they are all listed in The Lab. What I learn there goes straight into client work. If you want to work together, the services and the way I run a project are on Work with me. If you just want to talk, contact me. ## The short version - Brand designer, community builder, and product designer, 7+ years professionally - Jordanian, based in Saudi Arabia, working across MENA in Arabic and English - Founder of Design Battlefield: 8 editions, 5,000+ attendees, 40,000+ community members - 20+ events organized across Jordan and Saudi Arabia - Co-host of the Ftoor Designer podcast - Covered by Al-Arabi TV, Ammon News, Amman TV, and other regional media - Contact: [ok@osama.me](mailto:ok@osama.me) --- ## Source: https://osama.me/work-with-me # Work with me I help startups and organizations build brands people recognize, communities people join, and products people actually use. 7+ years of doing this across Jordan and Saudi Arabia, in Arabic and English, with a 40,000-member community to show for it. ## What I do ### Brand identity & strategy Visual identities, brand systems, and the strategy behind them.

He humanizes them. Osama understands that behind every logo is a story, a feeling, and a community waiting to be engaged. If you are looking for someone who can translate vision into strategy, strategy into emotion, and emotion into movement, Osama is that person." Alaa F.

You tell me the goal; I tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit. - Proposal. Clear scope, timeline, and price. No surprises. - The work. Regular check-ins, real progress you can see. - Launch and handover. You get files, systems, and guidance your team can run with. ## Let's talk Tell me what you're building and where you're stuck. I reply to every serious email. [ok@osama.me](mailto:ok@osama.me) --- ## Source: https://osama.me/contact # Contact Email is the fastest way to reach me: [ok@osama.me](mailto:ok@osama.me). I read every message myself and I usually answer within two working days. Write in Arabic or English, whichever you think in. ## What to put in the first email You do not need a brief. A few lines are enough to tell me whether I am the right person, and they save us both a call: - What you are building, in one or two sentences - What you need from me: brand, community and events, product design, or AI workflows - When you need it, and roughly what you have set aside for it - Anything already made: a deck, a logo, a link, a half-finished site If I am not the right fit, I will say so and point you at someone who is. The services themselves are described on Work with me. ## Where I work I am based in Saudi Arabia and I am Jordanian, so Riyadh, Jeddah, and Amman are all normal ground for me. I work remotely across the MENA region, and I travel for workshops, events, and kickoffs when a project needs a room rather than a call. Working hours run Sunday to Thursday, Arabia Standard Time. ## Elsewhere Public profiles, in case you want to look before you write.

It sells nothing, runs no advertising, and shares nothing with data brokers. This page describes exactly what happens when you visit, written from what the code actually does rather than from a template. ## What the site collects ### If you subscribe to the newsletter The email address you type, and a first name if you give one, are sent to [Loops.so](https://loops.so), the service that stores the list and sends the emails. That is the only reason the address is collected, and it is the only thing the form sends. Nothing else on the page is attached to it. Every newsletter carries an unsubscribe link, and you can ask me to delete the address at any time. ### Page views The site uses Vercel Web Analytics to count visits. It is cookieless and it does not build a profile of you or follow you to other sites. It tells me which pages people read and roughly where in the world they are, in aggregate. There is no Google Analytics here, no advertising pixel, and no session recording. ### Server logs The site is hosted on Vercel, which keeps short-lived request logs including IP addresses, as any web host does. They exist to keep the site running and to stop abuse. One place uses an IP address deliberately: the admin login is rate limited per IP so that nobody can guess the password by brute force. Those counters hold an IP and an attempt count, nothing else, and they expire. ## What is stored in your browser Two small values, both in local storage, both readable only by this site, and neither of them an identifier: - Your light or dark theme choice, so the site does not flash the wrong one on the next visit - A flag recording that the newsletter popup has already been shown, so it does not appear again There is no cookie banner here because the site sets no tracking cookies to ask you about. The one cookie that exists is an encrypted session cookie for the admin panel, and it is only ever set for me when I log in to edit the site. ## Embedded content on event pages Some event pages embed videos and posts from YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. Those embeds are loaded from the companies that run them, and once you interact with one, that company can set its own cookies and see that you loaded it. That is their behavior, not mine, and their privacy policies govern it. Nothing else on this site talks to a third party. ## Who else sees any of this - Vercel: hosting, request logs, and cookieless analytics - Neon: the Postgres database holding the site's own content - Loops.so: newsletter addresses, only if you subscribe That is the whole list. Nothing is sold, rented, or handed to advertisers. Data would only be disclosed further if a valid legal order required it. ## Your choices Email [ok@osama.me](mailto:ok@osama.me) and ask me what I hold about you, ask for a copy, or ask me to delete it. I will do it. For the newsletter, the unsubscribe link in any email does it instantly. Clearing this site's data in your browser removes the two local storage values. Nothing here requires an account, so there is no account to close. ## Children This is a professional portfolio aimed at adults. It is not directed at children, and I do not knowingly collect anything from them. Last updated 22 August 2026. If this page ever changes, the date changes with it.

There was no prize money and nobody was handing out swag. People showed up anyway, because nobody had ever asked them to compete in public before. That night became [Design Battlefield](https://osama.me/design-battlefield), and Design Battlefield grew into a community that now counts more than 40,000 members across Jordan and Saudi Arabia. I want to write down how that actually happened, partly because people keep asking me, and partly because most of what I read about community building skips the unglamorous years. ## It started before the battlefield Three years earlier, in 2015, I co-founded Design Family, a design education initiative that ended up serving more than 1,000 designers. We ran sessions, mentored beginners, and answered the same starter questions over and over. I must have explained portfolio basics a hundred times, and I tried to explain them the hundredth time the way I did the first. That repetition mattered more than any single workshop: people came back because someone was reliably there. Design Family later earned a fellowship at Badir and a TV segment, but what it really produced was trust. When I launched something new in 2018, a thousand designers already knew my name meant I would show up for them. ## Why a battlefield? Design education in our region had plenty of talks and workshops. What we didn't have was anywhere for a young designer to test themselves under pressure and be seen doing it. So instead of another lecture, I built a competition: real briefs, tight deadlines, judging in front of the whole room. I called it Design Battlefield, معركة التصميم. The [first edition was about posters](https://osama.me/events/posters-design-battlefield). Over the next four years the series ran for eight editions, each one a different discipline: [packaging](https://osama.me/events/packaging-design-battlefield), [Bauhaus-inspired design](https://osama.me/events/bauhaus-design-battlefield), [merchandise](https://osama.me/events/merch-design-battlefield), [branding](https://osama.me/events/branding-design-battlefield), [communication design](https://osama.me/events/communication-design-battlefield), [book design](https://osama.me/events/book-design-battlefield), and finally [wall murals in Saudi Arabia](https://osama.me/events/wall-design-battlefield). By the end of the eighth edition, the numbers looked like this: - 8 editions between 2018 and 2022 - more than 5,000 attendees across the events - more than 40,000 community members across our platforms - participants from 4 countries: Jordan, Egypt, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia ## Going regional, then going Gulf The 2021 branding edition raised the project's ceiling. For the first time, designers from Jordan, Egypt, and Yemen competed in the same edition, and a hackathon born in an Amman co-working space suddenly stretched across three countries. Then came Saudi Arabia. I moved there for work and landed in the middle of a design scene growing faster than anything I had seen, pushed by Vision 2030's spending on creative industries. The Wall Design Battlefield in 2022 brought the format to the Kingdom, with designers painting murals instead of pushing pixels. ## It was never only hackathons People know the battlefield, but a lot of the community's growth happened elsewhere. She Designer put women designers on stage as speakers and role models, and its events got TV coverage on Alordon Al Youm and Amman TV. I started it after noticing how few women applied to speak at our other events. Half of your future community is quietly watching to see whether they are actually invited, and a speaker lineup answers that question louder than any caption. The Farid Omara talk in Amman sold out at double the venue's capacity, with more than 500 people in the room. That night convinced me our designers were not short on ambition. They were short on access: serious speakers, in their own city, in their own language. Ftoor Designer, the podcast I co-host, is the community's breakfast table. Ftoor means breakfast, and the show is exactly that: long, unhurried conversations with designers and creatives. When events pause, the conversations keep the community warm. I also kept building products for the same audience, like Ruzma for freelancers and OneDesigner for matching clients with designers. None of them were planned as community strategy. They were things the same people kept needing. ## What I learned about community building 1. Give people a stage. Watching a talk asks nothing of you. Competing in front of a room full of your peers is terrifying, and it is exactly why people came back. 2. Consistency beats scale. Eight smaller editions over four years built more trust than one huge event would have. The people who competed in edition two brought their friends to edition five. 3. You cannot buy the attention that matters. Al-Arabi TV covered the poster edition because 5,000 people cared about it. We never had a press budget. 4. Change the container, keep the job. Hackathons, talks, a podcast, products. The job underneath was always to bring designers together and push them forward. 5. Go where the energy is. Jordan raised this community. Saudi Arabia is where it grows next. Accepting that felt strange at first, but communities outgrow their birthplace, and holding one back out of nostalgia helps nobody. ## What's next These days I work where AI meets design, integrating AI into brand and marketing workflows. My bet is the same one this community was built on: technology should make design more human. The battlefield will be back. I don't know yet which discipline or which city, but it will be back. --- *Building a community, a brand, or an event series in MENA and want help? I've done it a few times.
