Production Manager

Producing print materials (magazine/newspaper ads, posters, billboards, brochures,

Asad grew up as the middle child in a multi-cultural family, living on three continents (and visiting a fourth) before settling in Austin in 2005. It’s no surprise that he found a career in the middle ground between form and function. His role as a production artist and web developer is a balancing act of design, technical specifications, and client expectations.

He is equally at home working alone or with a team, in a corporate office or remotely, producing digital or printed work. He is an excellent communicator, having worked with clients and partners from diverse backgrounds in a wide range of industries.

While only fluent in English, Asad can read Arabic and Greek, and has produced work in Spanish and Chinese. He remains a student of culture and a citizen of the world, taking pride in knowing a little bit about a lot of things and a lot about a few.
