Kuwaiti · b. 19 February 1988
“A director, photographer, and creative producer who turned a passion for visual storytelling into a career that reached Hollywood.”
Known professionally as Mishary Alnajem, he built his name across Kuwait and the Arab world through an exceptional mastery of poster design — from cinematic films and TV series to theatrical productions and music artists. What began in 2007 grew into one of the most distinctive creative voices in the region.
In 2018, he became one of the few Arab creatives to design a poster for a Hollywood production — The Misfits — followed by Beyond the Likes in 2024. He has directed numerous music videos, delivered lectures at universities across Kuwait and beyond, and most recently launched Khambaqah, a social commentary show that has amassed a devoted following.
He also owns his own advertising, media, and artistic production company — bringing creative vision and business acumen together under one roof.
