WORK
WITH me
studio
Welcome to my studio, a space where storytelling shapes writing, art, curation, and narrative guidance.
Here, storytelling becomes a way of seeing. It guides everything I create — writing, art, curatorial projects, and narrative development — all rooted in authenticity, creativity, and cultural depth.
You're in the right place.
I work with institutions, brands, and government entities through narrative development, storytelling, and culturally informed communication, offering clarity shaped by a deep understanding of the Gulf.
My studio collaborations have included Miu Miu, Emirates Investment Authority, Tory Burch, Soneva, and Swarovski.
I write articles, essays, and long-form features — including cover stories — that explore identity, culture, and shifts shaping contemporary life.
My work has appeared in: Vogue, CNN, BBC, National Geographic, and elsewhere.
I collaborate with museums, galleries, and organisations to create immersive experiences shaped by Gulf culture and creative expression.
Collaborations include Emirates, Etihad, Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival, Sikka Art Fair, and Expo City Dubai.
Some events I spoke at: Miu Miu, Expo 2020 Dubai, Art Abu Dhabi.
For events, universities, forums, and brands looking for a voice that weaves lived experience, cultural insight, and storytelling into meaningful conversations.
