Observing Ramy Boutros' approach to interior design was a revelation. He put me in charge of residential and commercial projects from concept to execution.

• Conceive and design of architectural, landscape and interior spaces for residential, retail and public development projects
• Create renderings and presentations
• Produce and revise execution drawings
• Coordinate with consultants, clients and suppliers
• Responsible for interior projects for private residences
• Prepare and inspect specification booklets
• Conduct site visits and coordinate with contractors to ensure timely execution of project

My tenure with Ziad Bou Dagher helped me improve my understanding of the relationship between exterior and interior architecture and gave me a solid grounding in legal construction documentation and getting a project approved.

• Prepared legal drawings as required for construction permits
• Created execution drawings
• Produced renderings and presentations

Sari El Khazen is a daring and visionary architect who challenged me to come up with completely new ideas with every project.

• Conceived and designed interiors for residential and commercial spaces
• Produced rendering and presentations
• Constructed documents and coordinated on technical drawings

Working with Maurice Asso on lighting design is more valuable than a university education. That experience helped me understand and design lighting to create the desired ambiance.

• Generated advanced lighting designs for primary architects
• Coordinated with architects on to ensure quality delivery of projects
• Implemented shop drawings
• Selected lights and accessories for residential, commercial and retail spaces

The opportunity to paint alongside Najat Abou Chebel had a tremendous impact on my art, and influenced my day-to-day work with computer tools.

• Employed a variety of techniques to hand-paint canvas wall paper for clients in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf.
