I’m Nur Ahmad Furlong as I’m sure you could tell from my site’s address. I’m an Independent, Creative Professional Web Designer, living in the bussling City of Cairo. I’ve been working as a designer online and offline for the past 14+ years.
I Design, Code, Teach, Consult, Strategize and generally focus on digital communications.
I also Build Brands … Ethically Friendly Brands that is through my business.
As an artist/designer who is always thinking deeply about finding and implementing creative solutions to societal problems, my aim is to develop myself more as a design thinker who develops sustainable solutions for business & society.
Ethical Profile
I’m an ethical service provider preferring to focus on promoting products, services and causes which have a positive impact on people and society.
I feel that no matter what our skills or abilities each one of us has a responsibility towards humanity to add value to others lives, to be beneficial to people and to help create a beautiful future we can all benefit from in some way.
Nomad-One
My alias online is nomad-one, which stems from my interest in travelling and exploring various parts of the world. I’ve traveled and worked in places like Botswana, London, Cairo & Riyadh, Makka & Medina and love to see new and interesting places and to meet people of other cultures.
A nomad is resourceful, adaptable, resilient, humble, contemplative by nature and above all restless. I’m also a Digital Nomad, preferring location independent work style which makes use of technology to connect and collaborate with my clients and partners.
Nur means light in Arabic, it’s a name I chose for myself when I converted to Islam back in 2003.
