MAZEN AHMED
Creative Director
I create visual identities and direct engaging video content for brands, startups, and creative teams worldwide. From concept to launch, I lead projects that merge storytelling, design, and motion to shape memorable brands and emotionally resonant experiences.
about
I’m a Creative Director with over a decade of experience in branding, design, and storytelling. My work sits at the intersection of visual identity, motion, and narrative — creating brands that not only look sharp but feel deeply human.
Currently, I lead creative at COLLINS, where I’ve grown through the ranks over six years — from Designer to Senior Designer, then to Design Director, and now Creative Director. Across this journey, I’ve helped shape bold identities and immersive brand experiences for global names and future-shaping startups. I guide teams from strategy to launch, ensuring that every detail — from typography to tone of voice — aligns with a brand’s deeper purpose.
