About

Aya A.Tawfeek

Hi my name's Aya I am twenty-three years old, I currently work as Graphic Designer and Teacher at Roots school. I have been using computer for almost 13 years and I have gained an excellent knowledge in all areas of design, computers and internet. I see one of my major strengths being my adaptability, I am able to jump easily from being a designer to software and hardware technician to decision maker. this adaptability can also be seen in my design work where I am able handle any task I am given, be it web, multimedia, motion, branding or print.

I like to make all my designs as simply, practical and logical as possible and if I manage to make them look great too then I feel I have succeeded. I really not a "wow" girl, but I do create stuff that works nicely and looks good. to quote Charles Mingus, "Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity".
