“Design is not what I do.
It’s who I’ve always been.”

I Live,
Laugh & Love – all for Design!


Born in British Columbia and raised amid the vibrant energy of Dubai, Shamsa was shaped by contrast—between cultures, landscapes, and sensibilities. She is a multidisciplinary designer and artist who creates in layers—not just in form, but in feeling.

Her creative journey began in childhood, watching fashion TV, designing outfits for her dolls, flipping through fashion magazines with her mother, and getting lost in the packaging of cosmetics and stationery. What once felt like play became a calling—and she has followed that spark ever since.

Shamsa’s practice is anything but linear. One day it’s graphic design; the next, collage, illustration, fashion, or photography. She doesn’t wait for permission—she creates spontaneously, experimentally, and unapologetically. Her work is rooted in history, influenced by fashion, shaped by Frida Kahlo’s fearlessness, and driven by the rhythm of football and the architecture of dreams.

As a multidisciplinary designer and artist, Shamsa merges graphic design, illustration, collage, photography, stitching, and fashion to craft work that challenges norms and invites curiosity. Her inspirations are everywhere—from the brushstrokes of Frida Kahlo to the geometry of architecture, the rhythm of soccer to the elegance of historic art movements.
