I am currently the features director at Architectural Digest Middle East. The area of my role I feel most responsible for is sharing the stories, narratives and perspectives from the region to a global audience while also shedding light on young talents entering the industry. I think this network will help in connecting me with creatives who can benefit from AD’s platform while also allowing me to connect them to the world of design and architecture.

The membership will be a great opportunity to connect with creative talents with whom I can work on storytelling and helping them share their work and ideas through the magazine’s many platforms. It’s also a great opportunity for exchanging ideas on areas in the arts that need support and how we can enable that. In terms of what I can add to the community, I am heading an influential global magazine in the region so would be happy to offer my expertise in the field and act as a connector to those who are interested in the design industries. My greatest passion is connecting people and seeing a synergy between different works and creative ideas. I would love to bring that to the community here.

I am an appreciator of the arts: from design and music to literature and fine art. My interests lies in how these different areas of the arts can interweave and create impact. In my free time I read a lot of fiction by the sea and go to a lot of live music shows and catch intimate DJ sets that blend genres.
