About01
My work focuses on participatory approaches to architecture and the public realm.
With an ambition to collaborate with communities, local authorities, art centres, museums, and organisations working across art, architecture and the built environment to create more welcoming, playful and inclusive environments.
Originally from Aleppo, Syria, where I studied architecture, I later completed a Master’s in Sustainability at University College Dublin (UCD). My practice brings together art, architecture and play, creating opportunities for people of all ages to express ideas, explore their surroundings and imagine new possibilities for the places they share.
Practice02
Working where people and place meet.
02
Education & Play
Creating accessible learning experiences where play, making and experimentation become tools for curiosity and participation.
03
Community Engagement
Facilitating inclusive conversations with communities and organisations so local knowledge can meaningfully shape public space.
Selected Practice03
Participatory design
Participation as a design tool.
Listening, drawing, mapping and making can turn design into a shared process — one where ideas emerge with people rather than simply being presented to them.

Learning04
Creative engagement for all ages.
Play can open up conversations that formal consultation often cannot. It creates room for imagination, expression and confidence — especially when people are invited to explore their surroundings in new ways.
“Imagine new possibilities for the places we share.”
