I have studied and worked in London for the past 5 years, working for and collaborating with a range of artists and designers. In 2015 I graduated from LCF, finishing the year with a self-initiated fashion show open to designers unrepresented by their university. With a footfall of 500+. As an artist and designer my work is concerned with issues surrounding production in relation to materials and people. Fashion's intimacy offers a critical space to address our everyday material relations and the politics of the processes these engage. My relationship with materials as a designer are integral to the philosophy of how I work and what I make; in attempting to bridge the disconnect between material providence, human labour and eventual consumption. I have worked for a large variety of fashion designers and been a part of many costume collaborations alongside developing my own art and design practice which has been shown in exhibitions including WithKin (2017).
I am currently studying an MA at Central Saint Martins in Material Futures

Creative DirectorSamak Bilab Bi Delo
Beit UmmarFreelance
SBBD is a self initiated project based between London and the Palestinian Territories in collaboration with artist and creative director Julie Fox. This project developed from a desire to generate ways in which people from diverse geographical backgrounds can relate on a creative level. The aim is to engage in work that combats the current divisive and intolerant political/cultural climate we are facing. The focus is to create work that expands the contemporary narrative of identity within and outside of Palestine encouraging production that has a sustainable impact whilst highlighting skills of local artisans of this geography.
