I am a Jordanian architect, I have been living in the UAE with my husband and two children since 1997. I worked as an interior designer for many years and then opened my own antiques gallery in 2008 at Jumeirah Beach Residence in Dubai through which I practiced interior design as well. In 2009, I opened an art gallery in Kempinski Hotel – Mall of the Emirates. In December 2016, I opened ‘The Workshop’ in Jumeirah, Dubai.
