Summary
Textile and Print Designer
Globally minded creative with a Central Saint Martins foundation, blending cultural insight, visual storytelling, and luxury market expertise to craft distinctive, immersive brand experiences.
Raised in Dubai’s vibrant cultural crossroads and trained at London’s prestigious Central Saint Martins, I bring a global perspective and a refined creative voice to every project. My background in textile and print design has sharpened my instinct for storytelling, visual impact, and audience connection—skills that translate into compelling, brand-led experiences. Drawing on both artistic craft and a deep understanding of luxury markets, I create work that is distinctive, immersive, and enduring.
