TAHER WADKAR

“Suluki” in Arabic translates to “my behaviour” – a center founded by the belief that as a community, we are responsible for creating the optimal environment for our children’s success. Suluki aims at creating a safe space for the autism community, to ensure success and growth. Developing a brand identity that inspires, embodies inclusivity, empathy and simplifies complex blocks was one of the most challenging projects. Thus, one of the most rewarding and fulfilling :)

TAHER WADKAR - PERSONAL WEBSITE/ PORTFOLIO

TAHER WADKAR

As someone who creates and develops brands for others, one of the most difficult things is to create an identity (personal website, in this case) for oneself. After toying with a number of concepts, this one felt just right. I asked my cats to have a look and they approved when they paw it. https://www.taherwadkar.com
