Biography

Amani Alaali was an International Baccalaureate (IB) student at Bahrain Bayan School, and had been fortunate to be taught by very motivational teachers, who not only fostered her talents, but also encouraged her to be creative in thinking about her future. With the support of her teachers, she went on to study Interior Design in Northumbria University at Newcastle, UK, where she acquired her BA (Hons) in Interior Design (2009-2012). During her studies she worked on live projects, with real clients such as Duncan Fisher, Chill Factor E with Faulkner Brown Architects, Live Theatre, and Dance City. She was shortlisted twice to present to the clients, and was chosen as the overall challenge winner by the judges Ian McKeown, CEO of Dance City, and Craig Miller, Dance City Communications Manager, for the Dance City project. Her project is currently featured on the university’s website. She then decided to further develop her skills and advance in her field of study by studying MA Interior Design in the same university (2012-2013). She is currently a lecturer at Ahlia University, where she enjoys sharing her passion with like-minded individuals and also learning from them in an academic setting. Her area of focus in terms of research includes commercial interiors including windows displays and offices.
