About Me
Since graduating in furniture design I have constantly sought out new roles for myself as a designer. Through my work, and an interest in other peoples’ ideas I am eager to learn and take on new concepts so that I can feel both confident and excited about each new project, produce work of equally high standards from start to finish and to throw a good bit of design at life!
From Exhibiting in London at 'New Designers' in 1997, I have gone on to work for 2 high quality Interior Design offices. The first in Birmingham, UK, designing custom made furniture and working on many residential and commercial projects and the second further from home in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Bringing a contemporary edge from the West and mixing it with local influences I have gone on to design buildings, interiors and furniture for exclusive clients here in Riyadh and elsewhere around the World.
Through my work and experiences I have gained a keen eye for detail and have become a real perfectionist in everything that I do. Mixing that with a passion and enthusiasm for my work, I will always strive to add that little bit more and refine all the details which I hope can be seen here on this site as well as in my other love of photography. When it comes to spotting a wrong detail on a drawing or a horizon line that is ever so slightly out... then, I will spot it!

OTHER
Outside of work, as well as being an avid photographer I am also an active triathlete. As a member of the committee I also produce logos, t-shirts and a magazine for the club members each season. I’ll often be seen taking a “rest day” from the racing and grabbing my camera rather than my bike. I’ve been able to capture many great race moments and also lucky to provide photos for the sports pages of the local Arab News.
