What inspired a career in design photography?

Growing up in a family of arđists I was always fascinated by what people choose to surround themselves with in their personal spaces.

What’s the most important lesson you’ve learnt on the job? How our environments are so imporđant to our wellbeing and how they tell our stories.

How has the UAE’s design landscape changed in the past few years? I think people are more expressive, and more creative people from around the world are choosing to make the UAE their home. That diversity and eclecticism is being reflected in public and private spaces.
