So finally after procrastinating for nearly 9 months, I have gotten my act together and decided to be a part of the blogging world!! For my first ever post *eeks*, here's a few things that makes me {me).

I am a 22-year old designer from Dubai, UAE. I have a thing (well, more like an obsession) for the number 13. I work as a graphic designer, and I like to freelance in my spare time (wherever that is :P). I love *design*, and I love to create - I'm currently working on designing my own studio (which translates as a small table in the middle of a corridor) and refurbishing furniture. I'm always hoping and dreaming of having my own business (I think opening my own restaurant, cupcake shop, shoe boutique and clothes bazaar are all scribbled on some list somewhere - though I'm sure I would be terrible at the business side of it, the only thing I ever think about is how the interior of the place would look like!).

I am best friends with my older sister (she's 11 month bigger and I loved to tease people and make them believe we were twins). I love to travel and have been fortunate in seeing many places, though on my top of my list now is Greece and Japan. And sadly, I have no lucky bone in me at all.
