Just a few months ago, going through SYNTAX’s door, you’ll walk straight into a flurry of activity; heated conversations discussing a webpage or an app interface, a group reviewing logo sketches hung all over the wall are posing as art critiques, our COO stands at the edge of the designers’ space and jokes around with […]
Ahmad Humeid, Co-Founder and CEO, SYNTAX If you lived in the Arab region in the past few years, frustration must have become woven, in big and small ways, into the fabric of your daily reality.
