  • A safe pair of hands. Omar delivers great quality work quickly. More importantly he is able to sit with clients and extract a quality brief even if the client thinks they don’t know what they want. Good creatives are always an asset. Fast creatives are even better. But taking the client on the creative journey so they understand and enjoy the process is outstanding. Omar does all three.

  • Where do I start with Omar, the guy has many qualities a real joy to work with, we talk the same design language (telepathic like) he just gets it, quite refreshing actually which makes the design process smooth and quick especially when everything we work on is needed yesterday. Definitely one of the best creatives I have come across in 28 years of working in the industry. Design wise I don't think there is anything Omar can't do. His relaxed manner makes him approachable, simply a top man!!
