Ameer Al-Ayyash

One idea. Every surface.

I design for beauty brands, and I carry one idea across everything it has to live on — the square in the feed, the board at road speed, the shelf, the pack, the page. Then I build the page too.

About

The person behind the work.

I grew up in Germany and studied media design in Munich — digital and print, both sides of it. I work from Dubai now.

I make brand identities, packaging, campaigns and the social content that carries them, and the motion that makes them move. Before any of that I work out what the piece is for: years of marketing sit underneath the design, which is why I start from the job a thing has to do rather than from how it should look.

And I build what I design. Websites and online stores, written in code. I work with beauty and lifestyle brands, and with music artists. This site is mine, end to end.

Experience
  • Global Network FZCO

    Head Graphic Designer, Art Director & Marketing Assistant

    June 2026–now, Dubai

    Art direction and design across the group, and the marketing that runs it. Built a supplement gummy brand from a one-line brief: naming, identity, packaging, product direction, supplier research, website and the launch plan.

    Read more

    The gummy brand started as one sentence — we want to sell supplements — and I took it the whole way: the name, the identity, the range architecture, the pack, the supplier conversations, the photography direction, the website and the plan for launch day.

    Art direction for the group’s other businesses runs alongside it, which means holding several brands apart from one another inside the same week without any of them drifting.

    The marketing sits in the same pair of hands as the design. A campaign is costed, scheduled and written before it is laid out, so nothing beautiful arrives that nobody can run.

  • Korean Beauty House

    Head Graphic Designer & Social Media Manager

    2025–2026, Munich

    Owned the look and the feed of a K-beauty retailer end to end: campaign creative, product launches, paid and organic social, and the calendar they ran on.

    Read more

    Eighteen months, two channels, twelve shops to speak for, and a post about every second day.

    What I actually built was the set of formats, not the posts: the skin-type explainer, the product in close-up, the shop, the seasonal push. The account is still running all four. A format that outlives the person who made it is the only proof the thing was a system rather than a streak.

    Paid and organic came off the same desk, so a visual was cut for the feed and for the ad set at the same time instead of being adapted afterwards by somebody who had not seen the idea.

    German audience, Korean products, and a category full of words nobody has to know. Half the job was translation — not language, but turning an ingredient list into a reason to care.

    The grid is a design object in its own right: anything posted is also a square in a wall of squares, so covers were composed to sit next to each other.

  • The Walt Disney Company

    Graphic Designer & Digital Marketing Manager

    2024–2025, Munich

    Seasonal retail campaigns for Disney Consumer Products across Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Disney Princess — print, in-store and digital, designed inside licence rules and carried from the poster to the shelf.

    Read more

    Four licence universes in the same campaign — Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Disney Princess — each with its own style guide, its own character rules and its own approvals.

    Every asset went to the licensor for approval, so it had to be right the first time and defensible line by line. Working inside somebody else’s brand book that tightly is a skill of its own, and it is the opposite of being precious.

    One seasonal idea, carried from the large-format poster down to the shelf talker, the window and the digital banner, at the sizes German retail actually uses.

  • Hubert Burda Media

    Head Graphic Designer

    2024–2025, Munich

    Editorial and commercial design for magazine titles including Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and Focus: layouts, advertising creative, and the social cut-downs that carried them.

    Read more

    Beauty and fashion titles on a magazine schedule: Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, Cosmopolitan, Focus. The page closes on the day it closes.

    Advertising creative alongside the editorial, which means designing to a client’s guidelines and the magazine’s grid at the same time, and knowing which one gives way.

    Features also went out as social cut-downs, so a spread was planned for the page and for the square together rather than cropped into one afterwards.

  • Freelance

    Creative for beauty, lifestyle, editorial and music

    2024–now, Global

    Identity, packaging, store design and the full social feed for Daily Matcha in Munich. Tour merch and brand work for music artists including Leah Kate, Maggie Lindemann and Loudiene.

    Read more

    Daily Matcha: one mark, six shops in Munich, and every surface it has to survive — the cup, the window vinyl, the menu board, the packaging, and the feed that sells them.

    Music: cover artwork and tour merchandise for Leah Kate, Maggie Lindemann and Loudiene — printed on black, and read across a dark room from thirty metres.

    Working directly with founders means there is nobody between the brief and the file, which is fast and unforgiving in equal measure.

  • Faces Of Fey

    Head Graphic Designer

    2023–2024, Munich

    Every surface of the brand, hands on: packaging design, product photography, video production and web design, plus the social media management that ran on top of them.

    Read more

    A beauty brand small enough that one person did the whole chain: the pack, the photograph of the pack, the edit of the photograph, the site it sold on and the feed that drove traffic to it.

    Product photography and video in-house, which is the reason the social never waited on an agency and never looked like stock.

    This is where I learned that a pack design is only finished once you have tried to shoot it.
