I’m currently at a point where I’m deeply engaged in both teaching, consulting and researching: diving into some exciting research on the visual identity of the UAE, which has been a great way to blend my passion for design with cultural exploration. To reach the next level, I’m looking to expand my network and collaborate with other creative professionals. I think exploring new opportunities for collaboration, maybe through cross-disciplinary projects or partnerships or even gather information from informal chit chats. I've always loved giving and attending workshops in varied disciplines within the field, that's something I look forward to, always!

Its rare to come across industry-specific insights and a network of people who truly understand and value the nuances of creative work. It’s a unique opportunity to connect with others who have similar goals and aspirations, something that’s hard to come by in everyday interactions.

In my downtime, I love exploring new creative events and connecting with people in the design scene in the region and beyond. Whether it’s attending international design events or just chatting with fellow creatives, I’m always on the lookout for fresh ideas to bring back to my teaching and consulting work. I also stay busy with community projects that push forward the creative and cultural scene in the UAE. I just try to stay inspired, and lots of ice cream and pilates in between.
