Digital fabrication workshops

A series of workshops aimed at engaging fashion and jewelry designers to incorporate digital fabrication in their designs and prototypes.


As the lab manager of Scale7, I was responsible for overseeing the educational programs offered at the labs. This involved arranging workshops focused on laser cutting, 3D printing, and jewelry making for designers within the Qatari community.
