What is your current career stage and what can help you unlock your next level?
I am currently a creative business owner, I’ve had it for 2 years and the past year I’ve gone back to the drawing board to reasses how I want to proceed. I’ve experienced a lot of set backs which takes an emotional toll on me. However these set backs are eye openers to learn from. I think I would really benefit from proper financing and the support of a mentor to help me expand and grow my business into more than just a 1 woman show.
Why would you want to join 1833/١٨٣٣?
I loved the main value of breaking silos. I also loved the Instagram page and im super curious about the podcast episodes and would love access to those. I don’t know if I would be attending any uae based events as im based in oman. I think what I can add is a very different perspective, I am Omani from the south (Dhofar) a very under represented community and my current work and research has been about breathing like into pre historic / pre Islamic artefacts and sharing stories of my ancestors through my art/jewellery/sculptures etc. also - I see you do trips! Would love to organize a trip to oman during certain seasons like rose harvest season in the mountains. Oman has a lot to offer. This is what I can think of as of right now. I’m open to having a more casual one on one chat with the team about potential offerings
What are your creative interests? How do you spend your free time?
my creative interests right now revolve around story telling through applied arts. In my free time I am a research geek, I love to read, I love to geek out on new obsessions or learn new creative skills (my new mission is learning how to water colour) and when it’s the season, I tend to my garden and spend most of my time outdoors in nature.
