Shahira Wahba
Innovative Fashion Professional
Summary
Fashion, design and art have been a huge part of my life since childhood. I've always approached situations from a visual angle, challenging myself to look for beauty in any situation and with a new eye. I feel very lucky to have a skills set that allows me to tell a story through visuals. I believe, especially in a time in history where we often feel disconnected from the world around us, visual design across all mediums, helps us to feel connected to one another and our environment.
