Since his return to the gulf in 1991, Bader has worked as an Agency producer with Impact/BBDO based in Dubai regional headquarters serving all their clients and working on projects throughout the region and in Europe, producing ads for clients such as Pepsi Cola and General Motors. In 1994 he did freelance working as a director on various projects for agencies such as Saatchi & Saatchi, Leo Burnett and Star TV. Later that year he was taken on in a full time capacity by Star TV operating as a director for MTV and later Channel [V] where he became the first GCC national to become directly responsible for over 270 hours of music programming for a major international network. In 1996 he returned to freelancing working on TV commercials, and music videos for networks before becoming the executive producer/director for the Disney Channel Middle East in 1998.  In 2002 he moved back to Kuwait and worked as the Head of Photography Department at Boushahri Group.

From 2006 to 2014 he was appointed by Al Watan TV as Head of Creative Services.  Currently he is working for Al Majlis ُTV as a Creative Consultant.

When it comes to digital art he started experimenting with photos in taken throughout the years in Photoshop. Over time, he developed his own technique and style. His work is stylized, personalized, and very open to interpretation, but most importantly revolves around the idea that sometimes you just need to do something for the fun of it and express a certain vision of one's own.

Since 2001 he had 4 solo exhibitions in Kuwait and Norway, and participated in many group exhibitions in the Middle East.

To date Bader has won 10 international awards for his TV ads and artwork.
