Crafting Stories with Purpose

Blending Art, Advocacy, and Empathy to Inspire Real-World Change

My Background

A Palestinian visual storyteller and filmmaker with a background in Architectural Engineering, I bring over 7 years of experience delivering high-quality and impactful photography. As a freelance journalist, I’ve honed my skills in communication, reporting, and social media, creating compelling narratives that resonate.

My work has been showcased in cities like Gaza, Jerusalem, Amman, Washington DC, and London, and featured by notable organizations such as The Independent, Caritas International, TRT World, Gisha LCFM, and Mercy Corps.

Driven by a passion for storytelling, I contributed to the Palestine VR project, an immersive 360-degree virtual tour of Gaza City that offers a unique perspective of life on the ground.

With a strong sense of responsibility and a dedication to excellence, I promote key initiatives and programs with Gaza Sky Geeks, where I serve as a Visual Storyteller & Project Coordinator.

In this role, I collaborate with both internal teams and external stakeholders to advance communications, media, and PR opportunities for NGOs, always bringing a professional attitude and strategic approach to my work.

Asmaa is an extremely valuable member of the Gaza Sky Geeks team. She applies her superb skills in visual story telling to communicate the benefits of a career in tech to the community of young Palestinians. And Asmaa communicates the positive impact Gaza Sky Geeks makes to international donors and supporters.

I met Asmaa first as a passionate community member and volunteer at Gaza Sky Geeks, then hired her to join our growing communications team. She is extremely thoughtful, kind, curious, and creative. She throws herself into her work (creating video content for GSG, then other marketing) and has very high standards for what an end product should look like. I am very happy to provide references for Asmaa if needed.
