Who We Are
Zeina Barakat Doumet
co-founder & design principal
Being of Lebanese descent and raised with a global mindset, my creative journey has been defined by constant evolution and boundary-pushing artistry. Refining my skills in New York City’s cultural melting pot, I embarked on a career that spans hospitality, high-end residential, retail, and workplace, leaving an indelible mark with my versatile and immersive designs.
With over a decade of experience, my portfolio showcases my ability to craft extraordinary, luxurious, and sensory-rich spaces that captivates. My work is present in iconic projects like 200 East 83rd street, Signia by Hilton, and Canyon Ranch Spa, solidifying my reputation as a detail oriented storyteller weaving form and function into authentic narratives.
Having previously lead teams at Rottet Studio, Workshop APD, and Rockwell Group, I spearheaded high-profile global ventures and luxury hospitality projects worldwide. My passion for excellence and desire to nurture collaborative environments are a staple and foundation to all my designs.
When not immersed in design, I find inspiration in the surroundings of my everyday life. In my free time I sketch and paint, explore art, and learn about new cultures. My husband and I also have a passion for traveling, exercising, and cooking diverse cuisines.
I aim to make an unforgettable global impact through my passion for ground breaking design that ultimately harmonizes form and function.
Jaimin Patel
co-founder & managing principal
A true global citizen, my journey began in Kenya where I was born and raised before setting off to explore the world. From the sunny shores of Florida to the vibrant streets of New York City and eventually the innovative Bay Area, each destination has shaped my perspectives and fueled my insatiable wanderlust.
More than just a spectator, I’m driven by a deep desire to immerse myself in new experiences - whether that’s savouring the authentic flavours of diverse cuisines, forging connections with people from all walks of life, or exploring the great outdoors through adventures like golfing, snowboarding, scuba diving, and surfing. For me, life is about pursuing quality over quantity, and making a positive impact along the way.
With a multifaceted background spanning retail design, architectural interiors, corporate real estate, workplace design, construction, experiential design, audio-video technology, and event production, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table. Having worked with major high-end retail companies and tech giants like Meta and Google, where I oversaw the Experience and Events workplace portfolio in the APAC region, I have a keen eye for crafting immersive experiences that inspire and delight.
At the core of my work is a deep-rooted passion for program and people management, leveraging my skills to orchestrate seamless operations and cultivate high -performing teas. Whether it’s conceptualising cutting-edge designs or overseeing complex projects from start to finish, I thrive on the challenge of turning bold visions into reality.
