Jihan graduated with a strong focus on research-driven design, conceptual development, and fabric manipulation. Her work merges storytelling with craftsmanship, drawing inspiration from science, nature, and philosophy. She is particularly interested in translating abstract ideas into visual narratives through textile experimentation, surface design, innovative draping, and material exploration, balancing conceptual thinking with wearability and attention to detail.

Since graduating, Jihan has continued to build her professional experience across fashion, accessories, and multidisciplinary creative projects. She currently works as a freelance Assistant Designer with Johnny Farah, the Lebanese luxury accessories designer known for his handcrafted leather bags and footwear. In this role, she contributes to the development of new leather collections, from concept development and technical drawings to sampling and production coordination with teams in Lebanon and Italy.

Prior to this, Jihan worked with the award-winning Lebanese brand Super Yaya, where she contributed to collection development, pattern drafting, production management, quality control, and material research. She also worked on The Super Limbo Pavilion in Sharjah, contributing to the development of a large-scale woven installation in collaboration with Limbo Accra. In addition, she participated in the Creative Space Beirut and Rabih Keyrouz collaboration for Opera Carmen, assisting in the design and development of more than 350 costumes and supporting fittings, alterations, and backstage preparations during the performances in Baalbeck.

Alongside fashion design, Jihan has explored creative work across disciplines, including editorial makeup and visual production, further broadening her understanding of image-making and presentation. Looking ahead, she hopes to continue expanding her expertise through collaboration, experimentation, and further study.
