Nermeen Abudail

I was born in 1980 in Amman, Jordan. After graduating with a BA degree in Visual Arts/Graphics, I began my career in Jordan working for prominent local and international advertising and branding agencies. I am now living in Dubai, gained my experience through working within the branding industry, creating identities and transcending brands. Along with my sister, Nisreen Abudail, I founded Naqsh collective in 2009. A harmonious union between the oriental and the modern; my sister and I integrate aspects of art, architecture, and heritage through minimalism that brushes on sophistication. A union that fits perfectly into the pace of modern life, to be enjoyed for its shapes, meanings, and compositions. At Naqsh, I find inspiration in the contemporary simplicity and the traditional Arabic aesthetic, combined with high-quality local craftsmanship. Naqsh collective has participated in several national and international events, such as Milan Design Week, Amman Design Week, Design Days Dubai, and in museums in Lebanon “Dar El-Nimer”, Sharjah, Ramallah, Jerusalem, and as one of the finalists for winning the Jameel Prize 5 by Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
