Hi, I'm Dona Nabil Kdouh, a multidisciplinary artist and educator based in Dubai with over 15 years of experience across administration, real estate sales, teaching, and fashion & graphic design. I combine creative practice with leadership, having headed fine arts departments and coordinated art exhibitions in schools and universities across Lebanon and the UAE. I thrive in dynamic environments, guiding teams, organizing programs, and delivering projects that bridge art, culture, and education. My approach is collaborative and hands-on: I mentor students, design engaging curricula, and manage operations to streamline processes. I love using design thinking to solve problems, whether it's developing a new fashion concept, coordinating a school art program, or advising clients in real estate. Fluent in Arabic, English and French, I communicate effectively across diverse teams and cultures, always eager to learn and grow.
