Architect, Interior Designer & Storyteller
Originally from a multicultural background shared between France and Iraq, I was born and raised in Paris.
I hold a BA and a Master Degree in Architecture from the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris Belleville and a MA in Interior Design from the Royal College of Art in London.
I have previously worked as an architect and as a set designer in various practices in Paris, London, Istanbul and Amman.
I'm passionate about working on immersive and experiential spatial design projects with a particular interest in the "temporary". I'm looking forward to nourishing my work with future collaborations abroad, especially between Europe and the Middle East.
