The hobbyist
I am Walid Ghali, a globe-trotting product designer with a lifelong curiosity for diverse cultures and creative expressions. Born in Morocco and of Egyptian origin, I've led a dynamic life that has taken me to various corners of the world, from the bustling cities of the UK and China to the cultural tapestries of Egypt, KSA, and Ireland. With nearly two decades of experience in IT and product design, I've returned to Morocco after an absence of 29 years, bringing with me a wealth of knowledge, experiences, and memories. Now, I'm dedicated to sharing these insights and inspirations through creative items that reflect both my journey and my roots. My work spans the realms of photography and AI digital art, offering a unique blend of cultures, creativity, and technology.
