Serving as a teacher for Photoshop and editing at the Rammal Design Institute, Kasem not only shared his knowledge but also garnered industry attention. The tragic loss of his father in 2017 and the challenges during his high school years motivated Kasem to develop his skills as a presenter and producer. Working as a freelancer, he gained valuable experience and was invited to various festivals in Lebanon, Italy, and Germany.
