[FROM THE VAULT] is the summer series where we go back to some episodes that marked the past 3 seasons.
In this episode form 2025 Raja Haddad is joined by Zain Masud, a London-trained art world professional turned landscape designer, who is reshaping how we experience space, memory, and nature in the Middle East.
🎙️We explore:
– Zain’s journey from the global art scene to land-based design in the Arab world
– Why she views nature as storytelling—and gardens as living archives
– How beauty, emotion, and identity are layered into space
– Designing spaces that heal, include, and speak to a deeper sense of belonging
– Letting go of perfection and trusting the process of reinvention
🌱 This is an episode about starting over, looking inward, and designing spaces that feel like home.
