About the Contributors - Abou Abed Joke Book - Authors

Sabina Mahfoud, née Llewellyn-Davies, was born in London. She attended schools in Germany and Austria, and then returned to England where she graduated from Queen Mary College, University of London. After a brief stint at the civil service she eventually settled in Beirut with her Lebanese husband. There she taught English to a diverse audience ranging from an army general to a Venetian blind installer. Moving on she spent several years as a marketing executive for several local businesses. Today, she is a business and marketing consultant for the TLB Group which promotes responsible tourism in the Middle East. Sabina continues to lecture Business Communication at the Sagesse University, Beirut, and also writes for several publications. She lives in Beirut with her husband and two children and spends any spare time hiking remote mountain trails in Lebanon and Austria. Green Gold – The Story of Lebanese Olive Oil is her first book and The Abou Abed Joke Book 1 and 2 are her second and third.

Daniel Georges is an architect leading a multifaceted creative existence. A versatile talent allowed him to tackle a plethora of design commissions satisfying his curiosity in many creative fields. His lifelong passion for comics and illustration forged a deep interest in character design and led him to imagine "Little Phoenician", the first Lebanese original character produced in a plush doll format. Today, Daniel is investing most of his intensity in architecture with a growing inclination for urban interventions and architectural installations. Still, one day he is designing complex buildings for cigar chomping clients and the other he's writing/illustrating picture books for children. For him, it really makes no difference as both patrons come with horrible antics and absurd whims. Daniel Georges is founder and principal architect of the collaborative design studio Minus5 Architects and occasionally takes part in student projects reviews as invited jury member at architecture schools.
