Yomna Mohamed is a graphic designer and photographer from Alexandria, Egypt, currently based in New York City. She is an upcoming graduate of Parsons School of Design and previously served as a creative intern at Roc Nation.

Sounds of Resistance
A Sound Collective Amplifying Censored Voices from the MENA Region and Beyond
An initiative dedicated to amplifying the voices of censored artists and musicians. Rooted in the belief that music is both resistance and survival, the project centers artists who use sound to challenge regimes, reclaim identity, and document political struggle.
In response to digital censorship, the project embraces analog formats—zines, print media, merchandise, and physical music—as tools for cultural resistance and word-of-mouth circulation.

GHORBA
“Ghorba” is an Arabic word that loosely translates to estrangement or exile. It often refers to the feeling of leaving behind collective life—family, homeland, community—in pursuit of individual aspirations.
With a focus on Arab and North African immigration to New York, GHORBA is a publication that brings together visual archives and personal narratives from the diaspora. It explores how these communities rebuild, reimagine, and assert their identities in a new place. Through interviews and imagery, the project becomes a visual and oral documentation of diaspora artists, shopkeepers, restaurant owners, and more—highlighting the intersections of culture, religion, memory, and selfhood.

Building on an existing identity, this project involved expanding the branding system for Suez Studio, an Egyptian-London–based clothing brand. The work included custom Arabic and Latin lettering, refined typesetting, illustration, and design support for their latest collection.
Deliverables ranged from apparel graphics, bags, and hats to clothing tags and other print materials for merchandising—bridging cultural references with contemporary streetwear aesthetics.

MSFTSrep x New Balance
Produced in collaboration with New Balance and Jaden Smith’s MSFTSrep, this campaign pays homage to the youth culture shaping the streets of Cairo.
The skaters featured are core figures in Egypt’s growing scene and recent winners of Red Bull skate competitions.
As an Egyptian artist, this project was especially close to my heart. I approached it not just as a professional collaboration, but as a meaningful opportunity to bring visibility to a powerful and often underrepresented creative community in Egypt—one that deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated.
