Available to hire
I’m an interior designer with 16+ years of experience delivering workplace, commercial, and hospitality projects across the UAE, Qatar, and the Philippines.
I now work with Dubai-based studios remotely, supporting fast-moving projects and complex design packages where senior experience, clarity, and decision-making speed matter. My role is less about production support and more about carrying design intent through delivery—making sure what is designed is actually what gets built.
Across projects such as RTA EC3, IFF HQ, and a luxury hotel in Dubai, I’ve handled design reviews and documentation coordination before construction, identifying inconsistencies early and helping teams avoid delays, redesign loops, and site compromises.
Having worked end-to-end as a Senior Designer in Dubai—from concept through full design-and-build delivery—I can step into ongoing projects with minimal onboarding and immediately contribute across design development, coordination, documentation review, and delivery alignment.
I focus on one thing: ensuring design intent survives the journey from concept to site, with clarity, consistency, and buildable detail at every stage
