About the Director
Aisha Al-Jaidah’s professional animation career began in 2010 at Al Jazeera Children’s Channel as a senior animation producer, where she animated the first animated children’s series by a local in Qatar. Supported by a scholarship from the Supreme Education Council of Qatar, she was the first Qatari citizen to earn a BA Hons in Illustration & Animation from Kingston University London. Motivated by this achievement, Aisha Al-Jaidah established her own animation company, Blue Penguin Animation, to showcase Qatari creativity and inspiration.
