Available to hire
I’m Said Akoury, a results-driven Project Manager, Interior Architect, and Lighting Design Consultant with more than 23 years of international experience across Europe and the Middle East. I lead complex projects from concept through construction and handover—handling planning, design management, procurement, budget control, construction supervision, and QA/QC while keeping quality, schedules, and client requirements firmly on track.
My work focuses especially on lighting design and delivery for challenging, multidisciplinary environments such as aviation, hospitality, healthcare, commercial, residential, and mixed-use developments. I collaborate closely with architects, consultants, contractors, and client stakeholders, and I bring a continuous-improvement mindset—supported by my European patent (EP 4 442 503 B1)—to deliver innovative, sustainable solutions that elevate spaces and performance.
