Zainab S Khalaf
An authentic interior designer focused on creating unique experiences filled with new perspectives. As an inspiring designer, I believe in designing spaces that awaken the senses and act as a second skin, using psychology to understand how people inhabit space. By understanding a space and how it will be used, one can create an impactful and immersive experience. My projects also hone in on the importance of environmental design by using eco-friendly materials and finding innovative ways to meld design and sustainability. I love to try my hand at new things and I am always up for a challenge.
