My professional journey is rooted in Lebanon and shaped in Italy, where I learned that great places are built not only from design, but from a deep understanding of people. Over the past decade, I’ve worked across regions and scales, always carrying a people-first perspective into every project. I was drawn early on to questions of safety, segregation, and the social fabric of urban life — themes that continue to guide my approach today.
That belief has taken me through projects across the Middle East, where development is ambitious, fast-paced, and layered with complexity. What fascinates me most is seeing how cities grow far beyond the drawings on paper, shaped by the ways people adapt and transform spaces in their daily lives.
I enjoy working with diverse teams — planners, engineers, clients, and communities — to decode big challenges and translate them into clear, actionable strategies. One of my strengths lies in weaving together the expertise of specialist consultants, from marine and infrastructure to economy and landscape, into coherent master plans. For me, the best outcomes come when collaboration turns complexity into clarity.
Having worked across both public and private sectors, I’ve gained insight into the different priorities and processes that influence city-making. That perspective fuels my drive to create places that respond to people’s needs while also delivering long-term value and legacy. At Prior + Partners, I look forward to continuing to connect people, ideas, and possibilities into meaningful outcomes.
