I’m a Europe-based interior designer with 5+ years of leading concept-to-handover projects across residential, hospitality, and retail spaces in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt. I translate client briefs into clear design direction through mood boards, space planning, detailed joinery/shop drawings (AutoCAD), and photorealistic 3D visuals with material boards to help secure approvals. I manage the full design process including FF&E specifications, BOQs, and finish schedules, sourcing and coordinating samples with suppliers and vendors. I collaborate closely with architects, MEP, and site teams, issue RFIs, resolve design clashes to preserve design intent, and support compliance through inspections, QA/QC, and snagging—while also presenting design proposals and supporting value engineering to optimize costs without compromising quality.…I’m a Europe-based interior designer with 5+ years of leading concept-to-handover projects across residential, hospitality, and retail spaces in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.
