After graduating From Alba as a product designer, I moved to France to continue exploring the design world and my capacities and enrolled in a Global Design research and innovation Master’s Program.
​
My work has changed and evolved over the years but he still maintained specific characteristics such as the simplicity and practicality or the products. I try to comprehend my emotions and subconscious thoughts and reflect them throughout the design process. I am extremely conscious of the smallest details as much as the overview of the final product

My passion for photography never ends , i love to explore the original way of capturing the moment with a film camera , giving way to the surprise element when developing the film.
​
I try to comprehend my emotions and subconscious thoughts and reflect them throughout the photography. I am extremely conscious of the smallest details as much as the overview of the final canvas.
From the grains and noise on the final photo, I seek beauty in imperfections, I try to reflect the light that my eye catches in Black and white, the infinite sensibility of the monochrome specter as well as the geometric edgy lines reflect the simplicity of my work and engraves my personality in the photos.

The YAD collection is an assortment of traditional Lebanese handicrafts that were developed by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) with the aim of supporting a number of local artisans across Lebanon.
The project has established a way to create a sustainable better life for the involved families and communities coming from remote rural areas and/or underprivileged backgrounds. Work has been done hand in hand with artisans and various local producers to upgrade the process of production and introduce contemporary art to the existing lines.
The Collection features handmade products such as soap, tableware and home decoration items that include the art of tulle-bi-telli, or metal thread embroidery, otherwise known as “Tark el Fouda” in Arabic. The pieces combine elegance and originality with hundreds of years of tradition and culture.
