A morning of meaningful conversations, inspiring stories, and celebrating the women shaping the UAE’s creative economy.

As part of our special edition of Business of Design: Creative Economy Driven by Emirati Women, the Designers’ Hub at Art of Living brought together five inspiring Emirati women who are contributing to the creative industry through design, entrepreneurship, culture, and business.

The intimate panel featured Farida Kamber Al Awadhi, Noora Al Awar, Alzaina Lootah, Qadreya Al Awadhi, and Fatma Al Mulla, moderated by Marina Mrdjen, for an engaging conversation around creativity, opportunities, and the evolving role of Emirati women in the UAE’s creative landscape.

The session brought together Emiratis and expats from across the design and creative community, creating a space to exchange ideas, share experiences, and celebrate the collective contribution to the industry.
