Over 18 years of experience in the design industry, including five years in managerial roles. I hold an Art & Design Master’s degree from the University of Hertfordshire - London, United Kingdom. My studies were focused on Experiential design which involves operating at the intersection of visual communications and the built environment, with a multifaceted design scope, embracing a wide range of disciplines including interior, architectural, graphic design, digital and industrial design.
Throughout my career, I have participated in large scale interior and architectural mega projects in Egypt and all over the middle east with renowned developers and international operators. I have demonstrated exceptional skills in managing and mentoring design teams while overseeing projects from conception to completion. I am well-versed in creating design strategies, budget management, and coordinating cross-functional teams to ensure timely and effective delivery of design solutions. Moreover, I am highly proficient with Adobe Creative Suite, Autodesk software, Sketchup, Microsoft Office and other 2D and 3D graphic software.
At my current role as Head of Interior Design at Raafat Miller Consulting (RMC), I am successfully leading a team of ten designers and together we have led the department through a multitude of successful projects. My ability to motivate and inspire team members, while fostering a culture of collaboration and creativity, resulted in a significant increase in overall productivity and ultimately helped us increase the overall client satisfaction. I am eager to bring this same level of success and excitement to your organization.
Not only do I possess the experience and skills, but I also have a strong passion for design and constantly keep up-to-date with the latest trends and tools.
