Writer, editor, and publisher with 20 years of experience collaborating with cultural institutions, galleries, design agencies, filmmakers, and independent creatives. I specialise in conceptualising print publications, commissioning content, and programming art book fairs, working with both independent and mainstream publishers. I am deeply invested in collaborative publishing that amplifies diverse voices.
Previously, I worked at Sharjah Art Foundation and most recently served as Director of Research and Publications at Misk Art Institute in Riyadh, where I established its bilingual department. In both roles, I managed research-led publications and developed formative regional art book fairs focused on independent publishing.
