or Moom Thahinah, a filmmaker and designer working across moving image, design, illustration and visual storytelling.

My practice begins with an idea or a question, and from there, I find the right medium to bring it to life. Sometimes that takes the form of a film or animation; other times, an object, illustration, product or broader creative direction. Across these forms, I’m interested in how ideas and stories can be shaped through image, material, movement and culture.

Much of my work explores identity, place and the everyday ways people connect with one another. Growing up in Qatar and working across different cultural and creative environments has shaped how I see visual language, tradition and contemporary life. I’m particularly interested in translating these observations into work that feels personal, considered and accessible.

Alongside my creative practice, I work in academia, where I enjoy helping others develop their ideas, visual language and creative confidence.

At the centre of everything I do is a simple question:
How can an idea become something people can see, feel and remember?
