About
Hi!
I'm Saima, a hodophile and fashion enthusiast drawn to exquisite objects, culture, and experiences.
I have been to quaint towns, countryside, historic cities, coastline, and highlands in over a dozen destinations across the globe. Travelling replenishes my soul, leaving back moments worth cherishing and documenting.
Besides travel, art and craftsmanship have fascinated me over the years, manifested in my style, and motivated me to pursue Ph.D. in luxury fashion marketing. So far, I have published 25 journal articles and hold 116 citations to my credit in luxury fashion marketing and branding.
After earning my doctorate, I worked in Saudi Arabia for five years as a marketing professor and an administrator before taking a sabbatical in mid-2021.
Currently, I am enjoying this career break in Maryland, reflecting on my journey, catching up on my personal life, reconnecting with my passions, and exploring novel interests.
