I’m an architect interested in the environment, astronomy, history, and spatial philosophy. I’m deeply inspired by deserts and navigational and timing systems, with a special fascination for how language and folklore document our environmental logic.

               I earned my Bachelor of Architecture from Kuwait University and my Master’s of Science in Computational Design in Architecture from Columbia University in New York, where my thesis, Names of the Sun: Resistant Atlas, received the Most Outstanding Capstone award. Resistant Atlas is my ongoing research practice, find the body of work here and the writings here.

               My professional path bridges academia, research, and creative practice. I’ve worked in AlUla as an amateur astronomy researcher and guide, leading stargazing sessions and lectures, exploring Arabic folklore, while designing star maps, public experiences, and astronomy workshops.

               I currently serve as a Teaching Assistant at Kuwait University, run my small practice AlRummah Valley Studio, and consult for the AlUla Manara Space Observatory.

               Right now, I’m an artist-in-residence at Diriyah Art Futures in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and a researcher and artist at the Sharjah Architecture Triennial 2026.
