Ayah Alkhatib

Ayah Alkhatib is a Palestinian architect and multidisciplinary designer based in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Working across furniture, objects, and spatial design, her practice moves between research, craft, and material experimentation, translating observation into forms that are both considered and quietly expressive. She holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Abu Dhabi University, graduating summa cum laude, and has developed her practice through the Al Hosn Emerging Talent programme, House of Artisans Design Competition, the Athath Furniture Design Fellowship with MAKE, and Tashkeel’s Tanween Design Programme. Her work has been exhibited during Dubai Design Week and NOMAD, with Jaddelah awarded runner-up at the House of Artisans Design Prize.
