Creatives are not meant to be organised, but weirdly enough I’m a super OCD organised creative. Go figure! My best strength is my attention to detail as I enjoy spending my time meticulously going over everything to ensure a seamless result.
When I'm not at my machine designing something, you will find me in the kitchen with my toddler, combining ingredients to create a yummy dish. I’m a huge foodie who tries to bring a healthy touch to her recipes.
Languages are a major key to communication, and growing up with a Lebanese father and British mother, I am fortunate to be fluent in English, French and Arabic.
My friends and loved ones call me Nano, DiDi, Mama, Dino and Pinky.
