Instructors

Naima Monif Almajdobah
Lecturer

Naima is a designer holding an Honors Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design and is currently undergoing
her master’s degree in Design Studies from VCUarts Qatar. Naima’s exploration and interest in design grew
from a personal interest in sonic explorations and cultural literacy. She believes that focusing on her
culture and mixing it with contemporary mediums and technologies, can preserve that culture and shed
light on the lost crafts that once existed and for other people to learn more about it.
