I am Samer Sakr, a Creative Director and Interior Designer with over 20 years of experience delivering residential, hospitality, retail, and corporate interiors across the Middle East. I founded Samer Sakr Design Lab in Beirut (2004–2020), delivering 50+ projects with budgets from USD 500K to USD 3M+. I am known for my meticulous attention to detail, blending colors, fabrics, materials, and furniture into cohesive, refined spaces, and for engineering-oriented design solutions that translate concept into practical, well-coordinated executions. I lead projects end-to-end—from concept development and client collaboration to procurement coordination, contractor supervision, and final delivery. My signature strengths include mid- to luxury residential and villa design, corporate headquarters and office interiors, retail and hospitality concepts, and creative direction. I have built and directed design teams across Lebanon, Oman, and the UAE, managing budgets and maintaining strong client relationships while delivering high-quality outcomes.
