Art Direction & Curating
As an Art Director, I help brands, institutions, and creatives authentically connect with their audience through visually communicating brilliant ideas.
The studio works from concept to execution—covering research, image sourcing or commissioning, copywriting, graphic design and interiors, and assembling the right team to bring each project to life.
The studio’s visual archive built over years of documenting and researching—specializing in Arab pop culture. This unique archive ensures projects stand out, with cultural elements presented accurately, stylishly, and with emotional depth.
As a Curator, I work with museums and foundations to create experiences that connect people with ideas, history, and design. From exhibitions and installations to branding and visual storytelling, we shape projects that leave a lasting impression.
