About me
I am a Syrian/Lebanese set & costume designer currently based in London. My background is in spatial design (site-specific and installation) which has greatly informed my multi-media design practice. I am interested in politically engaged performance, particularly new writing & new choreography. Also, design-led devising is an interest of mine. I have experience designing for small-mid scale venues for dance, theatre, and most recently opera.Additional skills:
Modelmaking
Technical drawing (vectorworks & rhino)
3D Modeling (rhino)
Costume Drawing
Video editing (after effects)
Adobe design suite (photoshop, illustrator, indesign)
Programming (isadora, qlab)
