Hello there! My name is Khadija El Sharawy but everybody just calls me Dija.(It's shorter and easier to pronounce, really.)

I'm a freelance graphic designer based in Cairo, Egypt. I'm mainly specialized in branding and packaging design with an experience of 3 years in a leading branding agency and currently 2 years as a freelancer. I've worked on a variety of different brands like ice cream, restaurants, bakeries, retail, finance...etc. My most notable clients are Coca Cola in which I designed their limited edition cans for, locally here in Egypt. My love for branding really stems from storytelling. I've always been a storyteller ever since I was a kid. Through the help of my mentors and experience presenting to clients, I learned to grow and love the concept of telling a story as part of being a brand designer because you get to use emotions and relatability to connect with people.

I'm currently a Top Teacher on Skillshare where I give classes on all things branding, typography, animation and so much more. When I'm not doing that, I love to dance and currently dancing open-style choreography in a dance studio based in Cairo.
