Nice to e-meet you …

Hi, I’m Amera-Rime, but most people just call me “Amera.”; I’m an Arab-Latina American born and raised in NYC. What’s up, Brooklyn?

I’m a Computer Scientist turned Art Director, passionate about storytelling and making an impact through creative work. 

Currently, I’m a Senior Art Director at Edelman NY and an Adjunct Professor at CUNY New York City College of Technology. Some of my past clients include Dove, Degree, Pure Leaf, Colgate, Samsung, Verizon, Amazon, Ikea, and Walmart.

The Drum recently named me as one of the top 50 under 30 emerging creative females in the US and The Arab America Foundation 40 Under 40 awardee, which highlights remarkable talent and dedication within the Arab American community who are catalysts for positive change and Advertising Week ”Future is Female” award semi-finalist and Maiper to watch for 2019 among other awards I have received during my short time in the advertising industry so far.

Advocating for Diversity and Inclusion is a cause close to my heart, both within and beyond the advertising industry. I'm proud to be part of the Mena for ADCOLOR Leadership committee, and I've previously served on the 4’As MAIP Alumni Committee. 

My talents go beyond Art direction. I’m also a passionate, award-winning photographer and fashion designer who sometimes creates her own clothes in an effort to be more sustainable. When I’m not working, I enjoy all things magical and Disney.
