About

Textile surface design and fashion accessories design is the way I translate the world around me into visual form. I find inspiration everywhere, in architecture, movement, nature, color, and the subtle patterns that exist in everyday life. These observations constantly influence my creative process. When I design, I try to capture these moments and transform them into surfaces that feel dynamic, expressive, and meaningful.For me, textile design is both an artistic exploration and a thoughtful process. I enjoy experimenting with color relationships, geometric structures, and organic forms to build patterns that communicate energy and rhythm. Each design begins with observation and curiosity. From there, I develop ideas through sketches, pattern studies, and surface explorations until the design evolves into a cohesive textile concept.Currently I am enrolled in the Fashion Business Management Program at Houston City College for a secondary A.A.S Degree. I have a Bachelors degree from F.I.T in textile Surface Design. I am aiming for masters in fashion business. I am also doing short courses at university of arts London online and parson school of design one year online program.

Concept The Sahra Bag is inspired by the fusion of jewelry and accessory design, transforming a classic silhouette into a sculptural, multifunctional piece. Its cuff like structure and intricate detailing create a bold statement while maintaining elegance and versatility designed to be worn as both an accessory and an object of design. Sustainable Design Crafted using a balanced material approach, the Sahra Bag incorporates 50% responsibly sourced cattle leather combined with innovative, lower impact materials. This hybrid construction reduces reliance on animal leather while maintaining durability, structure, and a premium finish. Designed with longevity in mind, Sahra emphasizes timeless aesthetics, multifunctionality, and conscious production, minimizing waste and encouraging long-term use where luxury meets responsible design.
