Writer & Adventurer
Anwar travels the world not just for the joy of being afar. But most importantly to connect to new views, people, cultures, perspectives. All of it fuels his imagination. When creating travel expeditions to countries around the world, he rarely visits the same place twice. By observing, researching, and obtaining information about design from around the world, Anwar has obtained the opportunity to understand the human experience.
“In Dubai and Japan I experienced the future. In Colombia I found an applicability to a world outside of America. In Thailand I saw the peacefulness of life. With travels to countries in east and south Africa I realized everything I'd ever learned was just one perspective. And In Australia I found Africa all over again. So I went back to Africa. Apply curiosity to everything and reveal whole new truths.” - AnwarBey

Professor at Academy of Art University
Anwar teaches 3D design and asset creation courses on a University level. One of the coolest experiences is showing an eager open mind the world of limitless possibilities. I lead students to the pathing in their minds that connects imagination to reality, enabling them to create artwork and designs that are from their dreams.
