Art & Music are my major passion since I was child. I came from a background were my father was a structural engineer, he always guided me to see things differently in my own way. I got my Architecture degree from Egypt where I learned how to integrate art & engineering, so when I design a project I think about how to combine all factors to help creating better environment.
Being a designer is like a dream come true
As an Architect, mostly I design architectural/urban projects. I prefer designing more Large Scale Projects.
Actually I am still learning new things everyday. However, my advise to young designers is to be curious about all details, keep practicing and never fear failure.
A design is good when it serves the purpose for which it was designed in a creative way while showing its own personality and characteristics.

For me design is the beginning of everything, it’s the foundation of life and architecture is all about creating a good quality environment and I believe it has a direct impact on human psychology.
Space, form, materials, colors, lighting, acoustics and many more architectural elements play a big role on the psychology and behavior of an individual.
Architecture is the art that can change the world around us.

Talent, patience and hard-working
As a designer, my ultimate goal is helping people having a better life by creating a better environment.
It depends, for example If it is an Urban Project with huge scale it might take up to 6 months excluding the needed time for technical details and drawings, but if it is an interior design project for a small space it might take 4 to 6 weeks.
At the beginning of any project I always start by planning the project time-line which make it much easier to manage the design process later on.
My Sketchbook is my best friend then I develop the idea using softwares like AutoCAD, Sketchup, 3ds Max and Photoshop.
Space, form, materials, colors, lighting, acoustics and many more are all design elements that effects the design process directly and I believe that they play a big role on the psychology and behavior of an individual.
Catching a new idea makes my day great. I always motivate myself by setting clear goals and work hard to achieve them.
I have always wanted to be a designer. I remember drawing my first architecture sketch for our new house when I was 10 years old. Art & Music are my major passion since I was child.

Architecture, Urban, Landscape and Interior Design
There are lots of them.

Although there are new materials introduced daily, I prefer using Natural materials with the integration of new technologies.
For me, the design process is like a meditation. Mid nights or early mornings are the best when I have a peaceful environment around me.
When I design anything I always try to create a project that is functional, environmental, cultural & sustainable.
Actually each part in the design process has its beauty and unique feeling however, when I catch a new idea in my mind is the most exciting moment....
I feel proud and happy.
A design is most successful when it serves the purpose for which it was designed while showing its own personality and characteristics.
Functionality, Creativity and Sustainability
Design has a direct impact on human psychology which effects everything around us. Environmentally, I believe that the use of eco friendly, bio degradable, recycled materials is the need of time and future. At the same time, we need to adapt modern technology and latest design directions to stay in tune. As designers, we should be able to balance all aspects without compromising on function.
My advise to young designers is to be curious about all details, keep practicing and do not fear failure.

"How did you manage to do it?" or "How did you think about this idea?"
Mostly High end residential and commercial clients
Currently I am focusing to establish a strong network over places to exchange experience and design ideas.
It depends, sometimes I design the full concept and then handover to my assistants for further development other-times; we design a project as a team from the beginning.
