Nawaf Soliman
Nawaf Soliman is a creative innovator, businessman, designer, calligrapher, and artist. After a colorful thirty five years of educational and career commitments in the fields of advertising, communication and design in both the Middle East and worldwide, Nawaf settled in the Washington, DC area with his own business venture, ObjectDC. (http://Www.objectdc.com)
His combined past experience as art director, creative director and subsequently as advertising and marketing consultant with advertising agencies worldwide gave him the opportunity to hone his craft by managing campaigns for companies like Lufthansa, Renault-France, DIRECTV, Qatar Airways, British Midland International, Georgetown University, DishNetwork, as well as many others. Functioning presently as the founder of ObjectDC, Nawaf has, through his vision and leadership, transformed ObjectDC into a pioneer multicultural full service marketing agency in North America, executing comprehensive campaigns for various fortune 500 companies and reaching out to unchartered emerging markets.
In the artistic realm, Nawaf has developed a unique style of calligraphy based on the sophisticated, traditional scripts of the Arabic Language. He has been commissioned by various organizations and collectors to create elaborate calligraphy art projects that demonstrate the beauty and depth of the traditional Arabic calligraphy craft.
