Hello,

I’m Abdullah!

With over nine years entrenched in the world of esports, I've navigated through management, coaching, and agile methodologies. Along this journey, I've consistently challenged conventional practices, fostering an environment that celebrates individuality. I firmly believe in the power of diverse teams, where each member excels independently yet seamlessly collaborates across functions, all driven by a genuine passion for their craft.

My recent tenure of three years at the Saudi Esports Federation showcased my evolution from an esports specialist to a project manager, culminating in my current role as the head of esports professional events. Over this period, I spearheaded approximately 30 projects, managing up to six concurrently while overseeing nine operations. Below, I'll provide a concise overview of some noteworthy projects from my portfolio over the past three years, shedding light on my extensive experience.

As my role in directing projects, the work I produce is intangible in nature. The projects showcased below are a culmination of the collective efforts of dedicated teams across various departments. While the spotlight shines on these projects as a representation of my work, it is important to acknowledge and appreciate the collaborative spirit and hard work put in by talented people in the local esports scene who brought these projects to life. Their creativity, expertise, and dedication are what shaped the success of these endeavors.

TROPHIES

Make it Stand Out

I believe that trophies need to have the ability to inspire, make you want to compete not just for the thrill, the win, or posterity; but to inspire you to compete for "it". I have always been in awe of esports trophies, going beyond conventional, with angles and lines representing the battle and the competitive edge one must possess to compete. This is what inspires me every time I start with a new concept.
I try to stray away from the typical and conventional through the use of different material, shapes, elements. The growth undergone from the beginning until today can be observed in the development of each design from year to year.

2023 Esports Saudi Excellence Recap

Created as a tribute to the remarkable growth of esports in Saudi Arabia, the opening ceremony video for the SEF Awards 2023 stands as a visual chronicle of the industry's phenomenal milsetones throughout 2023. This video served as a homage to all major events, showcasing Saudi Arabia's leadership and achievements in esports over the year.

The music was thoughtfully selected to complement the video's style, and the audio from the footage was expertly integrated to enhance the overall experience. This captivating video opened SEF Awards 2023, honouring and celebrating excellence in esports.

For the purposes of this video, 73 individual achievements taken place in Saudi or by Saudis were researched and meticulously selected to synthesise this video’s final result.

ARAB ESPORTS LEAGUE

Arab Esports League first took place in 2022 as part of Gamers 8's first year. The concept behind this event was to bring together all Arab countries through esports on a grand scale at an annual gathering. As a first-time initiative, the challenge was to create something that would accurately reflect the magnitude of the concept it represented. The goal was to establish an identity for the event that wasn't solely focused on esports but instead on an event represented by official federations, where its brand and identity could embody that duality. Being one of my first projects outside of my main project, this was the venture where all the skills I had acquired were put to the test. This project marked the beginning of a process for me and my team to generate projects more quickly and methodically. The event was hosted for the second time in 2023, with the inclusion of African countries, and it was introduced as the Afro-Arab Esports League.

Logo & Branding Creation

For the creation of the logo we drew inspiration from the vibrant colours of the participant countries, infusing them into a captivating logo design. The semi-cycles in the logo symbolize the endless possibilities and growth potential of the league, representing unity and progress in the world of esports.
