Available to hire
Hi, I’m Zainab Gawhari, a junior architect based in Dubai with a passion for creating functional, sustainable spaces. My design approach blends academic rigor from the American University of Sharjah with hands-on experience through internships and campus leadership roles.
I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy leveraging digital tools such as AutoCAD, Revit, Rhino, and visualization software to turn ideas into buildable reality. I have contributed to projects and competitions in the UAE and abroad, including collaborations with Edible Urban Futures and active participation in the university community.
