After completing high school at College Protestant Français, I decided to seek a degree of Arts in Fashion Design at the Lebanese American University. I enrolled in their leading program devised with London College of Fashion & renowned Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab.

Finishing with honors, I went on to win the IAAF competition for entrepreneurship in which I presented my business module.

In parallel with my education, I partook in several workshops & internships, locally and abroad, from Maison Rabih Kayrouz in Beirut to Lesage, Massart and Peter Do, in Paris, Boston and New York respectively.

Throughout my studies, I have developed an experimental attitude towards design which I maintained. I constantly seek to discover new methods and techniques, push their typical limits to create a holistic design identity. Although my work has majorly revolved around menswear, I keep an open mind and enthusiasm to address new challenges.

After completing my Master’s degree at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Fashion Design, I went on to work with Alexander Wang & Calvin Klein.
