My name is Mohamed Chamsseddine Abdelhafidh. You can call me Chams but if you can pronounce my full name correctly, you will get a cookie.
I'm a creative director/copywriter based in NY. Before advertising, I worked in non-profits. I was born and raised in Tunisia but also lived and worked in Estonia. I have the tendency to live in countries that people struggle to find on a map.
Hit me up if you want to discuss the latest dank meme, the latest NBA/Soccer/UFC highlight, the latest superhero movie, or if you just want to do some cool shit that may or may not look like advertising.
