Originally from Tunisia, I am a Web developer and digital media artist whose heart-centred approach guides creative collaborations and relationships. After graduating with a Computer Science degree from the University of Quebec in Montreal, I started my digital media artist practice at the Film and Television School on Galiano Island, BC, first as a student, then video-editing mentor, leading to a staff position as Technical Director. After moving to Vancouver in 2006, I founded a web development agency, AtefDesign, and remain the lead designer and project manager. I have also worked as a technical coordinator and sound specialist for multiple festivals in and around Vancouver including Diwali Fest, New Forms Festival, and In-the-House Festival.
Since 2020, I live with my partner and two children in Quw’utsun lands (Cowichan Bay) on Vancouver Island. As a father, my creative work also draws on my hopes and intention to connect my children to their Tunisian culture, heritage, and family.
