Celebrating Excellence: Project32 Wins Prestigious Award
In 2017, Project32 was founded with a vision to blend Saudi culture with global design standards and create brands that resonate on a global scale. Our mission was to elevate local businesses into international icons by embedding their unique stories into every design.
A Vision Comes to Life
Our journey began with a transformative rebranding initiative for "Naanie" Tea. By translating its rich cultural legacy into a modern, globally appealing identity, we proved that local authenticity could meet international standards. This project set the tone for our approach and laid the foundation for future successes.
Overcoming Challenges: The Remote Studio Revolution
Starting as a remote design studio was challenging. Success was often linked with large teams and prestigious office spaces, making our boutique, remote model face skepticism. A pivotal moment came during a pitch for a major healthcare initiative with the Saudi Ministry of Health. We showcased our ability to deliver high-quality work without a physical office, leveraging technology and flexible work practices. This success validated our approach and marked a turning point, proving that remote innovation can yield exceptional results.
Balancing Act and Entrepreneurial Advice
Balancing family and business has been rewarding. Our predominantly female team, many of whom are mothers, has shown incredible resilience. We implemented flexible working hours and open communication to accommodate personal needs. To aspiring entrepreneurs, especially women: embrace your unique strengths, build a supportive network, and seek guidance from mentors. Challenges offer valuable lessons and opportunities for growth. Make your journey impactful by staying true to your passions and values.
Crafting Local and Global Impact
Our work blends cultural insights with global design trends, setting new standards in design excellence. For example, our project with the Saudi Ministry of Health merged traditional cultural elements with contemporary design, creating a solution that resonated locally while meeting international standards.

Passion and Innovation
My passions for sports, travel, and technology drive our creativity. They inspire us to explore new boundaries in design. Experimenting with AI and augmented reality (AR) in recent projects allowed us to create interactive experiences that set new industry benchmarks.
Looking Ahead
Future branding will focus on personalization, digital agility, and cultural depth. Brands must tailor their messaging to individual preferences, adapt quickly to technological changes, and understand cultural nuances to connect meaningfully with consumers.
Leaving a Legacy
I hope Project32 will be remembered as a beacon of Saudi design excellence and an inspiration for future dreamers. As Walt Disney once said, “If you can dream it, you can achieve it.”
