About

I’m Anita Merin Thomas, an interior designer with a Master of Arts in Interior Architecture and Design from Heriot-Watt University and a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design. I enjoy shaping residential and commercial spaces that balance style, function, and budget, using a hands-on approach to drafting, 3D modeling, and FF&E coordination to deliver practical, stylish solutions.

Currently based in Fujairah, UAE on a residence visa, I’m available to join immediately. I excel at listening to clients, translating visions into immersive spaces, and coordinating cross-functional teams to meet deadlines. I bring a proactive, collaborative mindset to hospitality and real estate design challenges and thrive in fast-paced environments.
