Tell us about yourself?
I’m Kaysar Daou, a passionate Graphic Designer, Illustrator, Concept Artist, Animator, Video Editor, and Visual Compositor based in Lebanon. I wear multiple hats in the creative realm, and I’m also the Co-Founder & Creative Director of Leoceros, a dynamic and multi-disciplinary creative agency.
My journey into this line of work has been nothing short of thrilling. I have always been captivated by the power of visual storytelling and its ability to communicate ideas across different mediums. Witnessing the transformative impact of art and design on businesses and organizations, I knew this was my calling.
I specialize in collaborating with a diverse range of clients, including corporates, NGOs, and SMEs, to enhance their digital presence and bring their visions to life. It’s a fulfilling experience to work on projects that make a positive impact on the world.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to breathe life into numerous successful projects for esteemed regional and international NGOs, corporations, and small businesses. It’s been an exhilarating journey, collaborating with reputable organizations and witnessing the impact of our work.
Beyond designing, I’ve developed a strong enthusiasm for digital marketing and SEO optimization. I firmly believe that combining creativity with effective marketing strategies can truly elevate brands and make a lasting impression on audiences.
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
My advice to myself would be to prioritize self-care as well as maintain a healthy work-life balance. As a creative professional, it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the multitude of projects and deadlines, often disregarding personal well-being.
I would remind myself to take pauses, partake in creative outlets, and draw boundaries between my personal and professional lives. Avoiding burnout is essential, as is cultivating a workflow that supports both productivity and rest.
Also, I would emphasize the importance of building a strong support network, both personally and professionally. It is vital to surround oneself with like-minded peers and mentors who can provide guidance, motivation, and critique.
Lastly, I would remind myself to celebrate every achievement, big or small, and to never lose sight of the passion and drive that led me to this career path.
