Jihad Al Razqi
Designer, Editor, and Photographer in Bahrain
I was born in Dubai, UAE, where my family and I lived until I turned 12. We then decided to move to New Zealand.
We lived in NZ for the next 12 years where I finished high school & University. New Zealanders have a knack for creativity, and I’m really glad I got to live there and learn a few things from them. University also taught me many things, but the main thing is if you want to learn something new, or if you want to do something, you must go out and learn it and do it yourself. I majored in Media Studies.
When I moved back to Dubai in 2010 I started working for my families company Education Zone, where I got to explore and implement my creative skills. I worked there for approximately 7 years and my sister and I started the second branch of Education Zone in Bahrain in 2014.
I got married in 2011 and moved to Bahrain in 2012 so we can be close to both our extended families. My wife gave birth to my beautiful daughter on October 31st, 2012. Update: (On January 29th, 2016 my wife gave birth to our son).
At the end of 2017, I resigned from Education Zone and established Feels Digital Productions.
I have been working hard to get Feels Digital to a place of recognition and trust in Bahrain, I feel the momentum in clientele recently proves that this company is growing at a healthy pace. I do find it hard to manage the company at times as I am not well versed in accounting and finance, other than that I really love this company and hope I can keep growing it.
