Biography
Zainab Faidi attributes her love of drawing and design to her childhood where she started drawing from a very early age inspired by the cartoons that she used to watch.
As she grew up Zainab was influenced by her father a famous architect and her uncle who is an artist and admits that their guidance and direction really helped her at the start of her career. In 2002 she moved with her family to Jordan and decided to study Architecture, as Zainab believes that architecture is the ‘father’ of all art.
She is now getting ready to study masters in animation design in the UK and hopes she will one day open her own animation house and revive old Iraqi and Arabic folk tales.
Zainab has published three books with Al Salwa Publishers entitled “Nashma and Jassem”, “Kaak” and a young adult novela entitled “Raghda’s Hat”.
