Artist Statement
A personal experience gave rise to FalconJet. Although I was born in Egypt and grew up in Kearny, New Jersey, my family and I would return to Egypt each summer. After spending the summer there, we would head back to the United States for the academic year. I started to look forward to those annual vacations, not just because of the memories and family, but also because of the airplanes. My passion with aircraft truly began there.
Airports, boarding passes, takeoffs, and the sound of engines all had a special allure that lingered in my memory. As I got older, I knew I wanted to pool my talents and passion for design. Because of those early travel experiences, FalconJet, a luxury airline brand, was created. It is intended to simulate flying between the United States and Egypt, whether you are returning home, vacationing with family, or embarking on an adventure.
More than just a made-up airline, FalconJet is a symbol of my culture, my upbringing, and the transitory space I've always occupied. The sky that connected the two sides of my life is honored.
Artist Bio
Originally from Egypt, I grew up in Kearny, New Jersey, where I currently live. I’m a graphic designer specializing in typographic, vector, and symbolic design. After designing an airline logo in high school, I became interested in design and have remained for the rest of my life.
My life has always involved some degree of creativity. I liked creating things even as a child; even if they weren't the best, they were the first. These days, I don't typically organize my own projects. All I do is open an artboard, place anything on it, and then work on it.
Actually, when I was younger, I wanted to be a pilot, but after some investigation, I found that wasn't the most economical career choice. I'm hoping that design will be the thing that helps me reach the stars.
