04 / ABOUT

MAKE PEOPLE
FEEL IT.

I’m Amal Alnahdi, a multidisciplinary creative working where art direction, immersive experience and technology meet. I shape ideas from their first visual language through to the moment an audience steps inside them.

My practice moves between interactive installations, XR and VR, games, projection, 3D storytelling and creative education. I care about the full experience: the concept, the space, the interaction and the feeling people take away.

Based in the UAE, I collaborate with creative teams, institutions and technologists to turn ambitious ideas into clear, memorable experiences.
