About Sameh El-Shahat
My name is Sameh El-Shahat. I used to work in finance for many years. After ten years in the City, I upped and left, driven by the belief that the world needs my wisdom (which I had to acquire first, hence my departure from finance). Now, I am an artist, designer, writer, film maker and commentator, and I like the sound of my own voice too. We seem to have lost our knack for common sense. Instead we willingly espouse half-baked ideas and ideologies to have an easy life. I call these Holy Cows and together, I hope we manage to kill a few. I hear they make fine burgers!
