What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can deliver high-end residential, hospitality, or retail designs, lead end-to-end projects, and integrate handcrafted product design within a creative, client-focused team.

I am a hardworking, ambitious interior designer with a strong foundation in hotel, residential, and retail projects, skilled in concept development and client-facing execution.

I create detailed 2D/3D visualizations, material selections, and coordinated installations, ensuring design intent is realized from concept to delivery.

As founder of Valentina Atelier, I design and craft luxury crochet bags and accessories, manage brand visuals and marketing, and build loyal customer bases across Lebanon and the UAE.

I hold a MSc in Business of Economics (Design Management) and bring a blend of creative craft, technical proficiency, and entrepreneurial mindset to roles focused on elevated, functional design experiences.
