Kristel is a Lebanese–Venezuelan multidisciplinary designer, creative director, and music artist whose work moves fluidly across architecture, branding, scenography, and visual storytelling. Raised in Beirut and shaped by a multicultural upbringing, her perspective is rooted in both cultural sensitivity and a deep curiosity for how people experience space, sound, and narrative.

She holds a Master of Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania Weitzman School of Design, where her work began to expand beyond conventional architectural boundaries. Her practice is informed as much by community, language, and lived experience as it is by formal design training; often drawing from unexpected references outside the discipline.

Working internationally as a freelancer, Kristel has led and contributed to projects across Philadelphia, San Francisco, Beirut, Barcelona, Abu Dhabi, Doha, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Zhengzhou. Her portfolio spans architecture, events, exhibitions, and creative direction, reflecting an interdisciplinary approach that balances concept, craft, and cultural context.

Her collaborations include MBC The Voice Arabia, the Red Sea International Film Festival, Manarat Al Saadiyat, Formula E, Warner Bros., the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge, the UAE National Orchestra, Google San Francisco, Mukaab, and Environment and Protected Areas in Sharjah.

At the core of her work is collaboration. Kristel builds and nurtures creative networks across architecture, music, film, fashion, and photography—approaching each project as a collective process. Through her practice, she continues to explore design as a tool for connection and social impact, creating work that resonates across disciplines and geographies.
