About

- Graduated as Valedictorian of VCUQ Year of 2025 with additional university honors.- Currently Employed as a Programming Coordinator at Qatar Museum's Exhibition Department.In a world driven by fast-paced technology and constant advancement, I stand as a designer who embraces innovation while honoring the tactile, crafted, and detailed elements of design. I am committed to learning, evolving, and exploring new possibilities, while staying grounded in the sensory and human-centered nature of craftsmanship.I am an ambitious designer based in Qatar, passionate about exploring the endless possibilities that design offers across different forms, techniques, and materials. My work focuses on pushing boundaries through tactile experimentation, material studies, and a deep curiosity for how spaces can shape experiences.​A Journey of Design and Discovery:I approach design as an evolving process - a space for discovery where traditional methods meet new ideas to create environments that are healthy, comfortable, and engaging.Whether working on interiors, installations, or crafted details, my goal is to design spaces that not only serve function but inspire connection, well-being, and sensory experience.

herfatona: echoes of nature

Specialisms:

Interior Architecture Furniture Interior Design

Herfatona: Echoes of Nature. In response to the decline of Lebanon's traditional handicrafts -once vital to its cultural and economic fabric - this project envisions a dynamic, interactive space in Qatar dedicated to preserving and celebrating Lebanese craftsmanship. By fostering communication, engagement, and tangible experiences, the initiative aims to rekindle appreciation for these artisanal traditions, ensuring their stories and techniques endure for future generations. Inspired by Lebanon’s natural landscape and its echoes, the project reflects the Lebanese essence through elements such as centrality, natural materials, communication, interaction, movement, and more.
