Hey! I'm Amira!
I am a Lecturer, teaching Digital Media course at Coventry Cairo University. I'm also a stop motion artist and writer for animation based in Cairo, Egypt. My story themes rotate around the human condition and the nature of emotions. I aim to create narratives that finds commonalities between our external and internal world. I like to explore diverse digital mediums. My approach is experimental, as I enjoy blending various forms of digital art to produce uncommon visual languages.
Let's collaborate!

a visual summary of my education:
•
Sometimes I design and illustrate as a secondary role, sometimes I like to experiment with photography for the love of art, and recently I started blogging to test other forms of expression
In 2016, I created a page called Tiny Clouds Studio, a studio that began in the corner of my bedroom that now grew into an independent space where I create films and animation experiments. You can find it here on Instagram
