What is your current career stage and what can help you unlock your next level?
I'm currently working in Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), a semi-government entity that has creative initiatives which are Maraya Art Centre and 1971-Design Space, I work on exhibition text, and artwork descriptions, translation and all content related to that, so I had to work and improve my skills when it comes to that. on the side, I'm looking into launching my own fashion line and designs, as I've done many courses to pursue my passion in fashion. I've done Fashion Design (level 1), Basic sewing course, and another course of pattern making and sewing. I really want to be able to support emerging designers as well and guide them around and provide a platform for them.
Why would you want to join 1833/١٨٣٣?
I honestly would like to meet and get to know more people at the creative scene here, and work all together to create and bring something new to life. I feel like there's a huge space and potentials for the art scene here in the UAE, and in Sharjah. I would love to have a role in shaking up the creative scene and it's growth. I think through time I have discovered that this is my true inner calling.
What are your creative interests? How do you spend your free time?
I've always been interested and active in the creative field, specially Fashion Design. I have been an active member at the performing arts department during my time as an undergraduate student, as I've taken theatre, music and choir classes, along with costume design. I am very interested in Music (I've learned to play two instruments by myself) and learning about Art History, and prominent fashion designers. Photography as well as I've done courses in photography, and I do love going on group photo walks.
