What is your current career stage and what can help you unlock your next level?
I am currently at a transitional period. I have been working in fashion for almost 7 years now as buyer and fashion consultant, I am increasingly grateful for all that I have been able to accomplish within a small period of time from buying to bringing in 12 new brands to open their first ever stores within Saudi. I am now looking to expand my career more creatively rather than strategically on the business end and am looking to connect with like minded individuals who can I can be inspired, learn & grow from.
Why would you want to join 1833/١٨٣٣?
I think working in fashion in Saudi since 2017, it has been a beautiful but sometimes lonely journey. The industry today has grown much more than it ever has and I have come to truly understand and appreciate the spirit of community. It isn’t the easiest to find one that you connect with, can be inspired, learn and grow from which is why I am looking to become a member. I believe I am a multi fasted person and through my travels, career & over all search for purpose, I have gained a lot of knowledge and wisdom that I love to share with the community at 1833. My perspective has always been unique as I have always moved with what my heart has craved and I believe & hope that I can contribute to the community in many ways, further more than just “career” as life has a lot more to offer.
What are your creative interests? How do you spend your free time?
When I am not working, I love to immerse myself in things that inspire me. I try as often as I can to travel as I am often inspired while traveling. Having said that, Riyadh has become an incredible hub in many areas and having many artists visit to celebrate their work has been immensely exciting. With the vast options today, it will most depend on the vibe that I am craving for that period. It varies in all areas, whether it’s attending a Jazz music festival or visiting a gallery, getting coffee with creatives to connect or simply mood-boarding at home.
