What’s your morning routine before work?

I check all my emails, world news headlines and have a triple espresso!

How do you decide what to wear in the morning?

I never have anything to wear! Sometimes, this bright spark of an outfit pops up at night. Most of the time I struggle in the morning to figure it out. It’s crazy how much it depends on my mood that day.

Three items you can’t live without?

Pencils, a notebook and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle.

Your favourite place you like to go to in Dubai?

If you lose me, you’ll find me in The Little Black Door.

What did you do last night?

I was sketching until 4:00 a.m.. It just started and I couldn’t stop!

Complete the sentence: My perfect holiday would be…

Long lazy days on the beach, sleeping on hammocks and great dinners with friends and family. 

What book are you reading at the moment?

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins.

Tell us a fact about you that nobody knows.

I have a sneaker obsession.

Your favourite designer at the moment?

I fall in love with Valentino every season, all over again.

Your current style inspiration?

Soft, romantic and so much about the girl next door.

Who would you like to be stuck on a desert island with?

Dalai Lama.

Three things you hate?

Cheese, seafood and being late.

What’s your personal motto?

If you fail try again, and again and again!

How do you want the world to remember you?

As a woman who believed and stood up for the inclusion of everyone!
