Hi, I’m Mala Khalifa, a design-focused Interior Architecture student with hands-on experience through internships and university projects. I enjoy translating briefs into cohesive spaces, from mood boards to technical drawings, using AutoCAD, Revit, and SketchUp to bring ideas to life.
I’m currently based in Reading, UK, and I’m eager to build a long-term career in Real Estate & Construction and Creative Design, contributing to collaborative teams with a positive, can-do attitude.
