My name is Omar Badran, and I am an architect/designer from Egypt. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from the American University of Sharjah (in the UAE), a NAAB-accredited institution that provided me with a solid foundation in architectural principles and design. Building on my undergraduate education, I pursued a Master of Architecture degree from Yale School of Architecture through their M-ARCH II program, where I deepened my expertise and explored innovative design concepts.
Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse regions, including Kuwait and the UAE, and I've contributed to projects across Saudi Arabia and the United States. My experience spans various sectors including residential, commercial, hospitality, and retail, allowing me to develop a comprehensive understanding of the architectural landscape and client needs. I have actively participated in all phases of the design process, which has equipped me with a diverse skill set and the capacity to tackle complex design challenges.
