Design Major

My name is Mohamed (Mo). I’m a Bay Area native Egyptian-American designer, photographer and athlete. Creating to me is unlimited creativity and freedom. I am able to create or capture something memorable — something that may resonate with others.

Vividly Dreaming

Vividly Dreaming is a photography and illustration based comic book that aims to give viewers a dive into the mind of several people who struggle with mental health and daily trouble. Conveying the whole concept of where I’d rather be versus where I am.

The viewers will hopefully take away a different perspective of other people’s coping methods and also realizing that imagination is unlimited and that it is a tool that we can further explore to help ourselves and everyone else. The comic books rely on the lens of glasses. What you see in the real world is one thing but what you see through the glasses is another.
