"My journey in fashion began during my tenure as a Fine Arts student at the Fine Arts Institute in 2014. Drawn to a unique medium of self-expression, I discovered that fabrics and dresses allowed me to articulate my vision more clearly. I perceived the world through a lens that instinctively balanced aesthetics, and this sensibility guided my creations.

In pursuit of showcasing my work, I turned to social media and began sharing my designs on Instagram. The positive feedback and demand for my pieces were overwhelming and encouraging. This inspired me to invest more deeply in my craft and led to the birth of my fashion label, 'Na7biny'.

My learning curve in the fashion industry has been fueled by self-education, understanding client needs, and relentless dedication to improvement. The interplay of fabrics and silhouettes continues to reveal new facets of my creative self. Each fabric I encounter acts as a muse, instantly painting a mental picture of the final dress and its destined wearer.

While I continue to learn in this dynamic field, my passion for working with fabrics and creating designs constantly propels me towards evolving and bettering my craft."
