About
Senior creative help, without hiring a full-time team
Not every company needs a full-time creative director and design team, or can wait months to hire one. Konfianz fills that gap: one senior creative lead with 20+ years' experience, and AI for the volume, by the project or a day or two a week.
- No hiring, salaries or recruiter fees
- Senior from day one, no juniors
- Scale up or down with each launch

Brands and projects I’ve worked on
Who you work with
Two decades of creative leadership, now working for you
I'm Matheen Bukhari, a creative director with more than 20 years of hands-on experience, based in Dubai since 2006. I have led creative for property developers and consumer brands across the UK, the Gulf and Asia, and run design teams in the UK, Dubai and China.
I spent nine years at Select Property, first as Senior Digital Designer and then as Creative Manager, leading launches, websites and campaigns sold to buyers in the UK, the Gulf and Asia. Before that I worked with Emaar Entertainment on Dubai Aquarium, Reel Cinemas, Dubai Ice Rink, KidZania and Sega Republic, and at Juma Al Majid Group, where the Hyundai Azera UAE microsite won a Pan Arab Web Award.
I set up Konfianz to bring that in-house experience to companies that cannot yet justify a full-time creative director. You deal with me directly: the person who scopes your work is the person who signs it off.

How I work
One accountable person
The person who scopes your project is the person who signs it off. No hand-offs to juniors you never meet.
AI for volume, people for judgement
AI drafts and adapts; I direct, design and approve. Nothing ships without a person checking it.
Built to be used
Fast pages, clean files, Arabic done properly, and work your sales team can actually use.
Recommendations on LinkedIn
What people who’ve worked with our founder say
I've worked with Matheen since he joined Select Property. He's sharp, creative and quick to deliver, producing premium campaigns and digital projects that support our sales across the UK, Dubai and China. I'd recommend him without hesitation
Carl DonaldsonChief Sales OfficerCarl Donaldson on LinkedIn From the day I interviewed Matheen I knew he's the right person for the job. Matheen's creativity, attention to detail, responsiveness and dedication are few words which describes him. Matheen is a cool guy, good listener, eager to learn in order to develop his skills and works with passion.
Maher DosoqiMarketing Advisor, Sharjah Govt.Maher Dosoqi on LinkedIn Not every time do you get an IT mind with a creative hat. That is Matheen. Having him in my team was a pleasure. He delivered on the timelines, always ready to take on extra roles with a positive CAN DO attitude. Always exploring new ideas and worked very well with other support departments. In a nutshell - great asset
Satyajit PendharkarCOO, Star CinemasSatyajit Pendharkar on LinkedIn I’ve worked with Matheen for almost six years and can honestly say he’s an incredible asset. As our Creative Manager, he leads the creative across our UK, GCC and Asia markets, setting the direction, guiding the design team and making sure every launch looks and feels premium. He combines strong creative judgement with a real focus on lead generation and brand awareness, and he’s been ahead of the curve in bringing AI and new digital tools into how we work.
Amber FurrHead of Marketing MEAmber Furr on LinkedIn I’ve had the pleasure of working with Matheen since 2017, and over that time he has played a huge part in shaping the visual identity of Select Property in the GCC. From creating our website to refining how our brand is presented across the region, Matheen demonstrated a great ability to take our brand and translate it into a strong, consistent and recognisable visual language that resonated with our customer base. His creative input has helped shape how Select Property looks and feels today.
Rich LonsdaleRegional Director Saudi ArabiaRich Lonsdale on LinkedIn I think Matheen has the key to what every web company needs: 1- He always knew what a client wants, 95% of his designs were approved from first time with tiny modifications. 2- Whoever sets the deadline he always met it
Usama QasemDigital and Marketing ConsultantUsama Qasem on LinkedIn Matheen would be an outstanding addition to any creative team. His technical expertise on the digital side of things in particular is first-class. He has helped to create and execute numerous projects with me at Select Property to a very high standard, with speed and efficiency.
Chris AndersonCreative LeadChris Anderson on LinkedIn I've worked closely with Matheen for the past 3.5 years and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a digital design manager. He is an incredibly organised worker who always delivers work on time, if not earlier. He's very skilled in web design and maintenance, and even built his own SEO tool for the company to be able to monitor and track our online performance.
