Author: Ghufran El-Katatney

Ghufran Katatney is always at the wrong place at the wrong time. But she’s gotten used to it and has decided to make the best of every wrong place and every wrong time. Photography, art and design are the passion. With an eye for detail and a unique way of looking at things Ghufran merges herself into environments that trigger a different perspective and view on life. She believes that everyone you ever meet knows something that you don’t and that experiences are the best teachers. She also wants to see The Weekend in concert. And likes penguins, a lot.
