Design content for games

Assets, environments, icons, campaigns and the motion that carries them. Eight years across games, VR and advertising studios.

Straight to the work, or the same portfolio flown as a spaceship.

On AI, plainly and respectfully.

Every model, texture, illustration, layout and frame here was made by me, by hand, with the usual tools of the trade. AI has no part in the art or the ideas — not the concepts, not the style, not the craft.

Where I do use it, it stays around the work and never inside it: sorting files, drafting an email, checking my own spelling. The work is mine — I'd rather say so up front than let you wonder.

Design content for games

Assets, environments, icons, campaigns and the motion that carries them. Eight years across game, VR and advertising studios in Beirut — currently running campaign concepts at Maddict.

My name is Jawdat Nahed, but my friends call me Dado.So, Who Am I?

I'm a Lebanese digital designer who thinks in 3D, with eight years across game, VR and advertising studios. Games are what got me started, and they're still the reason I do this.

I'm a digital designer who happens to think in 3D. Games, campaigns, brands, products, a classroom — I've worked across studios, departments and roles, and each one taught me how a different part of the work actually gets made.

It started with video games and a need to make the worlds in my head real. That grew into a craft in modelling, texturing, lighting and motion — and then into the bigger picture: concepts, campaigns, and design that has to land with real people, not just look good.

Off the clock I'm chasing a new technique, a new style, or whatever the industry is shipping next. I want to be in a room with a talented team, making things that make people stay a little longer than they meant to.

How it usually goes

01 Send a note A few lines is enough — what it is and roughly when.
02 We talk it through Scope, references, constraints. A short call or a thread.
03 I get making First pass, check-ins, then polish until it ships.

What are you making?

That didn't go through. Try again, or instead.

That's on its way.
