I believe the brands we remember make us feel something. Inspiration will always stem from somewhere. It's the way we interpret that inspiration through our own philosophy—and pair it with thoughtful execution—that sets us apart. Whether it's refining a niche industry or creating a memorable brand experience, the intentional details and the overall experience are what keep people coming back. Today, my work spans across luxury bridal beauty, consumer products, and designer home furnishings. As the founder of Beauty Asylum, She HÂS it Hair Extensions, and Blue Jean bb, I write and speak on bridal beauty, hair extensions, brand building, content marketing, e-commerce, and the decisions that influence how people connect with a brand.

I am the Founder of Revive Hub Renovations Dubai, a company built on the belief that people should understand a renovation clearly before they commit to it.⁶ My work is focused on helping Dubai homeowners and property investors make informed decisions around renovation scope, budgeting, design direction, and execution readiness across villas, apartments, and value driven residential upgrades. With years of hands on exposure to the realities of renovation in Dubai, I have seen that the biggest cost is often not construction itself, but uncertainty before construction begins. That insight shaped our First See Then Pay model at Revive Hub. We created it to bring more transparency, more confidence, and more decision clarity into a process that too often feels rushed, vague, or overly sales driven. I believe clients deserve to see where their money is going, understand what is practical, and move forward with greater control. My role is not simply to discuss finishes or timelines. It is to help clients think better before work starts, by identifying what adds value, what reduces risk, what improves real usability, and what can be executed responsibly in the real world. In a city like Dubai, where expectations are high and mistakes are expensive, that clarity matters. For me, renovation is not just about transforming property. It is about building trust early, aligning vision with execution, and helping people make decisions they feel confident about long before the first day on site.

"I have been in the business of buying and selling antique rugs for over thirty years (since 1981). Antique rugs and carpets are my passion and my tastes are quite eclectic. My taste varies based on the merits of each individual rug - ranging from early, classical pieces to Art Deco and Modernist rugs. What matters to me primarily, is the beauty and quality of the piece. My collection is comprised of over 3,000 fine and decorative antique and vintage rugs, which is probably the largest and most diverse collection in the world. I buy with my eyes as well as with my heart. Living in New York, the Mecca of the rug world, and traveling extensively, I have the opportunity to constantly source the best pieces that are available. My wide experience and contacts enable me to buy pieces competitively and to pass the value to our customers. My goal at Nazmiyal is to give our clients the finest rugs, with greatest range of choices, for the best value."
