Walid is a creative and talented graphics professional and would be a asset to any production team. He did an amazing job compositing hundreds of pieces of video, stills and 3D elements to create the title sequence for my children's TV show, " Little Miss & the Big Workshop" Additionally, he has an easy cooperative personality and great communication skills that make working with him a pleasure. Thaddaeus Scheel Producer & Director Globox Media Group Inc.

Walid was a terrific manager but before he managed me, he was an instructor who shared equal rank to me. As a co-worker he was friendly, intelligent and imaginative. I found him likable right away but his talent was just as impressive. His animation work is great and his approach to the creation of complex art is intelligent and thorough. He has an excellent grasp on typography and web design and his capacity for learning new things (software updates, new programs, restructured departments, new subjects on the course catalogue, etc.) As an instructor, his lectures were informative and even as an instructor myself, I sat in on many of his lectures to learn new things for my own edification and sometimes so that I could bring fresh and strong qualities to my own classroom.Walid has a strong, loud, captivating voice too, which is his birthright, not a skill, but it lends itself a s an effective tool in our field. Students gravitate toward him in a positive way both admiring him enough to trust his leadership and obeying him because he follows rules and knows how to enforce them without hesitation. He is very charismatic and intellectual and his lessons were startlingly organized and detailed. Walid always brought his expertise and experience to classrooms and forums and worked well in cooperation with other instructors and students to make their education a productive and practical experience. He has a strong past work history and has dealt with exciting clients like MTV, VH1 to name a few. His after Effects work and video production skills were imaginative, aesthetically he has an entertaining and welcoming approach to color, shape and line. As a manager, Walid never stopped moving. He was always on his feet assisting students, organizing tutoring sessions, seminars, finding appropriate and stimulating field trips and networking opportunities. All this and still he kept a cool head, a firm voice and a sharp focus on our most immediate concerns and that of students and corporate. He always attended manager meetings on time, often has his thoughts organized and prepared before speaking and , nearly never calls in sick. He pays careful attention to people's needs and listens well. His tenacity as a creative mind is unfailing, even under great pressure. He always keeps his cool, leads others well with fairness and strong resolve. I recommend Walid to any employer who wants to hire a man who helps their business grow more successful.
