about

I design for the intersections — where architecture meets design, art, technology, and science. My work is driven by curiosity and the belief that design can transform environments, challenge convention, and shape
how we live, work, and connect.

I’m currently an Architect at Foster + Partners (F+P), contributing to giga- and mega-scale projects such as the Stadia for Saudi Arabia’s FIFA World Cup 2034 & AFC Asian Cup 2027, Riyadh EXPO 2030, AMAALA by Red Sea Global, and King Salman International Airport. Earlier, I helped shape the Saudi National Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale, celebrated among the Top 5 must-visit pavilions, and collaborated with world-renowned practices including Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), Snøhetta, and Gensler.

My approach blends experimental research and practical delivery — from advanced robotic fabrication and sustainable material innovation to AI-driven form-finding using tools like Midjourney and ChatGPT. This cross-disciplinary mindset comes from experience across North America, Europe, and Asia, working in cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Venice, Milan, London, and Riyadh.

I hold a Post-Professional Master of Science in Architecture and Urban Design from UCLA, where I studied under Greg Lynn in SUPRASTUDIOS. My journey has also included a summer program in France with École d’Architecture de Paris-Belleville, a Refugee Crisis research trip across Europe, and workshops with the Architectural Association Visiting School (AAVS) in Milan, New York City, and Los Angeles.

For me, architecture is more than a profession — it’s a way of thinking, a tool for transformation, and a platform to explore uncharted territory, both within and beyond the built environment.
