The company was started by Ahmed H. Taibah and Yousef H. AlDabbagh, two friends who studied at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM). They set up EDESIGN immediately after graduating, starting with just one desk, one PC and one service – web design. From those beginnings, the company has grown and prospered. In 2007 they moved into new offices, where they are still located. Today the company consists of more than 60 employees.
