MOHAMMAD Al-KAFERY
I was once set on becoming a pro player. I spent countless hours grinding, reached Master, and fully believed competitive gaming was my future. Along the way I discovered something else that hooked me even more: creating experiences around games rather than only playing them. That path eventually led me to Riot, where I turned my passion for gaming into a career. When VALORANT launched, I was there from the start, and I have been playing ever since, peaking at Immortal. Games stopped being just what I played; they became what I built for others.My work in marketing and communications has been about connecting players with the worlds they love. I have directed shoots on tight budgets, traveled to players’ homes to capture their stories, and worked with influencers to turn ideas into full-scale campaigns. For me, the challenge is always the same: how do you take a vision and make it real for the community in a way that feels personal, authentic, and unforgettable.
But that is only one side of me. I have always loved storytelling in all its forms. I read novels, I write, and I often find myself imagining entire video clips or film scenes the moment I hear a song. Creativity spills into my everyday life too, from decorating my home to experimenting in the kitchen. Cooking is something I enjoy even if I can be both a surprisingly good and a hilariously bad cook at the same time.
I also have simple passions that ground me. I love gaming as much as I did the first day I queued up, I enjoy traveling and discovering new cultures, and I find comfort in animals. I love cats, and I adore dogs. I appreciate design and craft, whether it is in a beautiful pair of shoes or a car that blends engineering with character.
If there is one thread through all of this, it is that I am driven by curiosity and the need to create. Whether it is a campaign, a story, a home project, or just an idea sparked by a piece of music, I like building things that people can connect to. This portfolio is a reflection of that journey, from aspiring pro player to creative professional, from community stories to personal passions, all part of who I am.
