In celebration of Women's History Month, we're spotlighting two extraordinary women from the MENA region who are making history in architecture today—creating meaningful impact at every scale. Today, we honor our own Eman Elnorag, Architect & Project Manager, whose leadership and vision have been instrumental to our firm’s growth. Eman's journey began right after graduating from Port Said University with a Bachelor's degree in Architecture and Urban Planning. Over the next seven years, she honed her skills through extensive training and work on prestigious commercial, hospitality, and residential projects, including private palaces and large residential complexes throughout Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar. Her role often required traveling globally to source materials and custom-made furnishings from places like Italy, China, and Turkey. In 2020, Eman embraced a new challenge by moving to the U.S., seamlessly integrating her expertise with Michael Marshall Design. She continues to evolve our management processes, enhance workplace health and safety, and foster meticulous client engagement. Now, she's balancing work, family, and new challenges in multi-residential and mixed-use projects—all the while being an essential leader in our new MENA office. Her impact is undeniable, and we can’t wait to see how she continues to make history here in our firm and beyond. Know an incredible woman making history in design today?
