What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to develop design solutions that combine social impact, sustainability, local resources, and cultural heritage, with interests in circular design, local heritage preservation, inclusive design, environmental awareness, and community-based innovation.

At Hkeya.tn, I participated in product design and workshop-based prototyping using Tunisian leather craftsmanship. I explored ways to reuse leftover leather scraps and contributed to leather accessories and footwear, as well as product presentation and packaging.

At ESSTED, I’ve developed design concepts addressing sustainability and inclusion, including a handbag for girls aged 5–12 made from leftover leather and an ergonomic sink adapted for older adults. I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Design for Sustainable Development and am interested in solutions that bring together social impact, local resources, and cultural heritage.
