A Turning Point
A pivotal moment in his career was his ongoing collaboration with Box Clever Theatre, a partnership he cherishes to this day. It was through this experience that Riad discovered the profound impact performance and facilitation could have on young adults. Thanks to Box Clever, he realised his vision of unifying teams through stage combat.
The Swiss Army Creative
Offstage, Riad’s digital creativity flourishes. He delves into video editing, sound editing, music production, web design, graphic design, content formatting, videography, and recently, AI consulting. Affectionately known as the ‘Swiss Army Creative’ and a ‘Jack of all trades (master of most!)’, he admits his coding skills could use a little more polish.
Inspiration & Mindfulness
Growing up, action films, video games, and martial arts were not only crucial to Riad’s creative inspiration but also provided an emotional outlet. Throughout his career, the intense demands of his profession and time spent away from loved ones steered him towards maintaining mindfulness. He constantly explores ways to keep healthy in body, mind, and spirit, sharing his discoveries with peers in the industry.
Empowering Others Through Action and Expression
With over a decade of professional experience, Riad aims to use his accumulated knowledge to assist others in finding a safe, expressive outlet through physical action — one team at a time.
