About
I am a Creative Design Director who integrates minimalism, vernacular architecture, and authentic craftsmanship to reflect regional heritage. I craft spaces with material honesty, spatial clarity, and balanced geometry, guided by lighting, finishes, and form to evoke emotion and poetic, timeless atmospheres.
As a LEED-certified designer, I prioritize innovative, environmentally conscious solutions. With a diverse background in the UAE and the Middle East, I lead projects from pre-concept to tender documentation, collaborating closely with operators such as Four Seasons, Melia, Marriott, Ritz Carlton, Avani, Chedi, and King’s College. I emphasize structured design management, seamless consultant coordination, and engaging client presentations to deliver high-quality outcomes.
