Our story · Cairo, Egypt

Two friends. One very personal project.

We make wall pieces, acrylic frames and car hangers around something you already care about: a name, a team, a photo, a person.

BYMS stands for “by Mahmoud Sameh”.

The people behind your piece

A friendship that became a business.

Architect & Maker

Mahmoud

I've been making things since I was a kid. Architecture school gave me better tools and worse hours. After enough nights in workshops building models for my own projects, I started making things for other people too.

I ran BYMS alone for a while, shipping included. When I wanted to bring it back, I called Mohamed. Now I get to focus on the cut, the finish, and the millimetre that's off that nobody else would notice.

Co-founder & Developer

Mohamed

Mahmoud was my first desk mate when I came to Egypt in fourth grade. We've been best friends ever since.

When he called about bringing BYMS back, he never got to finish the pitch. Whatever he wanted to build, I already trusted he could make something of it. I came in to handle the technical side, the website, and everything it takes to keep the whole thing running.
