ABOUT

Designing Spaces. Shaping Culture.
​

I am a design and production specialist working at the intersection of art, architecture, and cultural infrastructure. Based in Jeddah, I lead the design and delivery of exhibitions, public art commissions, and cultural projects at Hayy Jameel, while also contributing to initiatives at Jameel Arts Centre in Dubai. My practice bridges creative vision and technical precision, with a focus on creating museum-quality experiences that engage audiences and empower artists.

Biography

​

With a background in architecture and scenography, my career has spanned more than a decade of exhibition design, cultural production, and project leadership. Prior to joining Art Jameel, I worked independently with artists, contributed to Art Dubai’s Special Projects, and collaborated on the Expo 2020 Public Art Programme in Dubai. I have also supported international partners, including the V&A Dundee in Scotland and Qatar Museums, on large-scale exhibitions and installations.

​

At Art Jameel, I manage a wide range of projects including major exhibitions, touring shows, and the annual Façade Commission, one of Saudi Arabia’s most prominent public art platforms. My approach is defined by collaboration with artists, curators, and institutions, always aiming to balance storytelling, design, and operational excellence.
