Welcome to my studio, a space where storytelling shapes writing and art
Here, storytelling becomes a way of seeing. It guides everything I create — writing, and art — all rooted in authenticity, creativity, and cultural depth.
You're in the right place.
I am invited by brands and institutions to read my work and take part in conversations around writing, storytelling, and culture.
I collaborated with: Miu Miu, and Tory Burch
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 present my work in collaboration with museums, galleries, and cultural spaces shaped by Gulf culture and creative expression.
Collaborations include: Khaleeji Art Museum.
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.
