In my life I had fun and this turned out to be advertising
I am from a generation who grew up admiring advertising because of “Always Coca Cola” jingle and Benetton’s shocking print ads. But as soon as I graduated with a B.A in Advertising, I discovered that Ad agencies now are designing apps and daily social media posts and that Don Draper’s world is only on T.V, although his clones still exist. I did art, film, design in those days when I wanted to save the world and not waste my life trying to sell toilet paper and cooking oil, but then I discovered that only toilet paper can save the world. Can you simply imagine a world without Toilet Paper !
Here are a couple fun facts about me:
1-Like a 2 in 1 Shampoo & Conditioner Product, I am a 2 in 1:
I am an art director who has worked as a copywriter, I have 2 Bachelor Degrees from 2 different Universities and 2 Masters Degrees. I also have 2 different origin roots and will soon have two nationalities. I am the elder of my mom’s 2 daughters, my name was Nancy after Nancy Regan and my parents changed it to Mariam when I was eight.
2-I am a little entrepreneur:
I have started an interior design and furniture label called Paradoxia since 2012. Check the website: https://www.paradoxia-designs.com
3-I am very clumsy:
That is because I am trying to balance being a creative in a corporate world, sane in an insane world and a woman in a mad men world.
