RIBA Chartered Architect & elected RIBA Gulf Treasurer, implementing a health-centred design strategy that reframes sustainability as wellness for people and planet—helping developers deliver profitable, responsible, and future-ready communities.

As a moderator at Cityscape, Dubai Design Week & INDEX, I translate complex sustainability issues into developer-ready solutions. My focus: shaping briefs that align ROI with healthier homes, resilient cities, and Vision 2030 goals.

Founder of MAYA MATERIAL, I integrate healthy materials, AI innovation, and circular economy thinking into residential design. With 18+ years’ global experience, I guide consultancies and developers to create thriving, health-centred projects.
