02 / CULTURAL DELIVERY

الثقافة والمجتمع

Cultural ideas.
The work of
delivery.

Founding New Chapter has taught me how cultural ideas become public experiences: shaping the concept, coordinating contributors and preparing the details of delivery.

As a Council member, I could bring that practical understanding to youth activities and community programmes.

Explore my responsibilities
  • Develop cultural concepts and curate vendors around the character of a place.
  • Coordinate suppliers, stakeholder requirements and participation processes.
  • Support negotiations, onboarding, ticketing and technical preparation.
  • Contribute to on-site operations and the visitor experience alongside the wider team.

This experience informs my contribution as an individual. It does not commit New Chapter’s services or resources to the Council.

New Chapter welcome newspaper and printed brand materials arranged on a wooden table.

Al Maqta’a Chapter

A ticketed cultural event at Al Maqta’a Museum, delivered by New Chapter in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi.

Guests gathered in the illuminated Al Maqta’a cultural setting.
20,570recorded admissions

Recorded event admissions, across the wider team’s delivery.

My involvement covered cultural concepts, vendor curation, supplier coordination, ticketing and on-site operations. The result reflects the work of the whole team.

What the numbers mean

Admissions are recorded entries across the event, not necessarily unique visitors or confirmed paid-ticket purchases. The company profile summarises internal attendance records; these figures have not been independently audited.

Property Advisor · 2024–Present

A SEPARATE PERSONAL PROJECT / 2024IntelliAgentAI-assisted market analysis

A real problem.
A reason to build.

I developed IntelliAgent to help real estate agents analyse the market using AI. I participated in a DLD REES pitching event and attracted investor interest.

IntelliAgent was a personal project, separate from my employment at fäm Properties.

01

Share our heritage.

Bring Emirati culture to life through activities young people can take part in.

02

Create space for young people to share ideas, skills and ambition.

WHERE I COULD START

Proposed ideas · Subject to Council approval

Heritage, shared.

A hands-on workshop with an Emirati practitioner. I could help shape the experience and coordinate its delivery.
