Biography

I did my MPhil in Middle Eastern Studies with Prof. Yasif Suleiman as a Gates Scholar. Previous to this, I did my undergraduate at Duke University, and I worked in the Middle East as an artist in residence and at various social enterprises and startups. I am now a fashion designer in New York City, especially passionate about ethical, sustainable design and designing for social enterprises, as well as exploring the possibilities of new fashion technologies. I hope to eventually work on a design-based social enterprise in the MENA region to marry my passions and interests.
