What’s your morning routine before work?
My work makes my day very spontaneous and vastly contrasting. My mornings can start with anything from hair and make-up for a shoot or climbing down an ice wall to get away from a storm, so I don’t really have a routine other than waking up positive.
How do you decide what to wear in the morning?
Usually I decide what to wear based on my belief that comfort breads confidence, but it all depends on what type of day I’m having. When I’m on sea level or what I call “civilian mode” the logic is fashion over function, but as soon as I’m on climbing or “adventure mode” the rule is reversed and fashion takes a back seat for function.
Three items you can’t live without?
My imagination, curiosity and honour.
Favourite place you like to go to in Dubai?
Hands down the beach with my friends, Kite beach to be precise, followed by my favourite little Mexican place.
What did you do last night?
I climbed a very steep and difficult ice wall in the morning so I was celebrating reaching the top with my teammates at night.
Complete the sentence: My perfect holiday would be…
Exploring somewhere new with my family and friends.
What book are you reading at the moment?
Tell us a fact about you that nobody knows.
I’m an introvert who plays an excellent extrovert.
Your favourite designer at the moment?
It’s extremely difficult to choose just one, but Bambah is definitely at the top of the list.
Your current style inspiration?
Women who wear their own style with confidence and grace.
Who would you like to be stuck on a desert island with?
I’m too embarrassed to answer this one! You never know I might end up meeting that person one day.
Three things you hate?
Laziness, ignorance and gossip.
What’s your personal motto?
Living curiously.
How do you want the world to remember you?
The Saudi woman who endeavoured to touch the sky.
