In 2010, Ahmad Saqfalhait obtained his MFA in graphic design from Tama Art University in Tokyo, and worked in Jordan, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and finally in Egypt.
During his 5 years of teaching at the German University in Cairo, he developed with his colleagues its graphic design program by focusing on the role of design in social development, both locally and regionally.
One of his achievements was co-founding in 2015 the “100/100 Hundred Best Arabic Posters” competition which initiated a regional dialogue on design through its exhibitions and publications.
In 2019, when Ahmad joined the American University in Cairo, Egypt, as an Associate Professor of design, he collaborated with key people to establish a new multidisciplinary game design minor, aiming to connect academia to the local gaming industry, with a vision to create social impact through games.
He is currently in his 2nd year pursuing his PhD at Tama Art University in Tokyo, exploring game design for social impact.
