About

I’m a French-Lebanese textile and collection designer based in Paris, where I build textile and collection work end to end—from early textile concepts and print/color research through materials, finishes, and production with mills and ateliers. Rooted in Levantine craft, I develop heritage embroidery, silk, and prints in collaboration with Lebanese and Syrian artisan families, blending deep material knowledge with contemporary design thinking.

Over the past years, I’ve directed my own label and also supported and led design and sourcing teams across bedding, ready-to-wear, haute couture, and knitwear. I specialize in bedding and home textile design, fabric development, and technical development, and I enjoy turning research into cohesive collections, while managing sampling, costing, PLM workflows, and remote production to bring each collection to life.
