SUMMARY

Carla Saliba has 20 years of experience in design related disciplines, including 9 years as a trained architect. However, it wasn’t until completion of a Master's degree in Business Design that she discovered her passion for infographics.

 

In 2014, she founded Infographic.ly in Dubai, the first information design & data visualization agency in the Middle East that focuses on helping companies communicate data to stakeholders clearly and effectively. Clients have included MasterCard, TED, Reebok, and WIRED, with designs being featured in publications around the world.  

 

Carla is also a guest writer for Entrepreneur Middle East, in which she regularly contributes on the subjects of business, design, start-up culture and leadership.
Her expertise has afforded her invitations to speak at international conferences, as well as train government and educational institutions across the GCC to build design capabilities in-house. Her work with translating information through design has gained the attention of Apple for which she delivered training sessions for business professionals to delve into creativity as part of the ‘Today at Apple’ series.

 

When she’s not designing data for clients, Carla sits on the board of Omneyat, a Bahrain based charity promoting evidence-based practice in the treatment of autism and developmental delays. Additionally, she is a Responsible Leader Alumni for the BMW Foundation.
