  • More details about your skills

    I studied architecture & finance, and am a classically trained artist. I started a company in Saudi Arabia designing & building homes, then moved to Lebanon where I began a business focusing on design objects (furniture, textiles, ceramics). I've consulted for all kinds of startups and I love to cook food from all the places around the world where I've lived. My newest project is video + photography based, where I document local artists and their processes of making. Love to laugh and stay active. The more we can do things outside - the better.

  • What else ...

    I am active (gym, anything outdoors, tennis, horses, sailing, etc). Im very organized, clean, and self sufficient. I'm very design focused right now: architecture, craft and culture. Since i have a finance background I also love to talk about people's entrepreneurial ideas or existing businesses and help them if I can. I am great with kids because i had to care for my nephew for 6 months full-time- so if the work experience involves children I'm ready.
