Whether launching celebrity-backed brands from scratch, building $50M wholesale business units, or earning industry recognition like Business Insider's "Best Pet Bed Collection" award, I leverage AI tools and strategic insights to accelerate go-to-market strategies and craft solutions that fit a business as seamlessly as a well-made pair of trousers fits a customer.

I’m a renovation and fit-out professional with over a decade of hands-on experience working on residential projects across Dubai, including villas, apartments, and mixed-use properties. My work focuses on helping homeowners and property investors make clear, informed renovation decisions before construction begins especialy around budgeting, scope definition, and risk avoidance. Over the years, I’ve seen how most renovation problems start long before site work begins: unclear scopes, unrealistic pricing, missing approvals, and poor planning. That’s why I specialize in practical renovation planning, cost transparency, and pre-construction validation using 3D visualization. This approach allows clients to understand outcomes, timelines, and costs upfront rather than discovering issues mid-project. I regularly advise on contractor selection, quality control, snag management, and compliance with Dubai’s building management and approval requirements. My perspective is shaped by real project execution, not theory from compact apartments to large villa renovations. When contributing to media or industry discussions, I aim to provide straightforward, experience-based insights that help readers avoid common mistakes and approach renovation decisions with confidence and clarity.
