I shifted from creative entrepreneur to corporate strategist some years ago — and finding that I want to try and bridge these worlds more. An unlock would be understanding market and community needs more intimately for collective growth.

As Dubai has grown, communities are both more connected than ever and increasingly disparate. I’m so excited to join a community that is thoughtfully curated around shared learning and development. I would love to contribute what I know of exploring creative disciplines, bringing together community and taking professional risks.

I was a designer in my first career, a fine artist before that and a writer always. I try to stay connected to all creative practices either by doing them myself, or exploring the work of others.
