Kareem Ettouney - Art Director, Media Molecule

Egyptian by birth, Kareem's work displays exotic cultural influences which make it truly distinctive. The breadth and scope of Kareem's work reflects his diverse background in interior, graphic, theatre and film set design. Kareem's eclectic creativity found its home when he joined Lionhead Studios in 2002, where he quickly established himself as the lead concept artist. Whilst at Lionhead, he became firm friends with Mark Healey and Alex Evans and worked with them on the cult hit Rag Doll Kung Fu. When Mark and Alex left Lionhead in 2006 to form Media Molecule, Kareem was their first and natural choice to join them as co-founder, along with David Smith and Chris Lee. Kareem has been absolutely instrumental in the iconic look of Media Molecule's first project LittleBigPlanet and is currently working on his first book to be published later this year.
