Maher is a designer who works at the intersection of design, development, and technology. He has over 17 years of experience encompassing art principles, brand identity, graphic and web design, web development, accessibility, and marketing strategies.

 

After establishing himself in Lebanon's media industry, Maher relocated to Houston, Texas. There, he expanded his expertise through formal education at the University of Houston and Houston Community College, adding web development and coding to his impressive design capabilities. 

 

He currently mentors Rice University Students enrolled in The Liu Idea Lab for Innovation and Entrepreneurship — the #1 U.S. Entrepreneurship program ranked by the Princeton Review — and acts as a judge for the H. Albert Napier Rice Launch Challenge (NRLC) where undergraduate, graduate, and MBA students pitch their business ventures to win a share of $100,000+ in equity-free funding.

 

In 2014, Maher's entrepreneurial spirit led him to co-found Baal & Spots with Ryan Mathis. What began as a two-person operation has since flourished into a full-service digital agency with a comprehensive team of professionals.
