Tammam Yamout earned his bachelor of Graphic Design at the American University of Beirut in 2004. Since then he has been working at PenguinCube, a design consultancy which he co-founded that same year. PenguinCube, which provides services in identity design, interface design and wayfinding design, has gone on to gain international recognition for their work and have been recipients of the Red Dot Design Award, the IF Design award as well as the prestigious SEGD honor award in wayfinding. Starting off as a team of two, Tammam has seen the company grow to a multidisciplinary team of fourteen enterprising individuals working together. This growth has been fueled by opportunities in emerging markets in which proper attention to branding, interactive design and wayfinding was generally lacking.

Tammam enjoys long distance running and aims to break his personal best at the Beirut Marathon this year.

About TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
