Hospitality · 2023Al Wasl, Dubai

I tell stories through form, material and light, creating spaces with soul—places that people connect with and remember.
Architecture, interiors and design leadership across Dubai and the USA.
My work begins with understanding how a place will be used, experienced and remembered. A clear spatial idea guides the planning, proportions, materials and light, creating environments with a coherent identity.
Since founding RAW in Dubai in 2012, I have combined creative direction with studio leadership and multidisciplinary collaboration across hospitality, residential, workplace, healthcare and retail design.
