I'm an interior designer with over 10 years of experience delivering hospitality and residential projects in Bahrain and across the region. I excel at translating design concepts into buildable environments and managing projects from concept development through to execution, including in-person communication with clients, consultants, and contractors to ensure the design intent comes to life on site. My work spans F&B design, residential, and real estate, with a strong focus on material selection, spatial efficiency, and aligning branding with practical delivery. I thrive coordinating cross-cultural teams across the MENA region and guiding projects from cost-conscious concepts to high-end interiors while keeping timelines and budgets in check.
