My name is Jude Fawakhiri, I am an architect, product designer and jewellery designer. I grew up in Amman, Jordan in a family of artists, and I hold a bachelors degree in Architecture from the German Jordanian University. I have worked in the fields of furniture, product and jewellery design since 2020, and have worked earlier in the field of architecture and furniture design in Stuttgart, Germany.

 I am naturally drawn to the form, function and aesthetics of things- constantly having a critical eye and a curiosity of how things are made, how they function, and what purpose they serve. As a pianist who started learning how to play at the age of five, I also have a knack for working with my hands. Combined with an endless curiosity and a countless interests, this made me want to learn and try many things that range from making pottery on the potters wheel to making my own jewellery pieces.

 I was introduced to the world of design and culture through my job as a designer in Turquoise Mountain Jordan back in 2020- and not until then did my design skills start to take shape. I have gained precious knowledge in the field of crafts and culture, especially in our region, and have participated in designing a number of pieces that were showcased in showrooms and museums around the world along with a creative team of designers and artisans.
