Dina Murali

Dina Murali is our design director and a major creative force behind all of our projects. Always approachable and available for her clients and team alike, Dina never lacks that extra idea, solution or touch, on many occasions making our designs even better than those originally envisaged by the client.

Born in India, Dina has spent most of her life in the UAE. After graduating from BLDEA School of Architecture in India, she went on to work for RC Architecture, with George John and Vijay Dsouza, two design powerhouses who became her most important mentors.

While working at dwp and other large hospitality design firms, Dina gained valuable experience of telling authentic and compelling stories through design and creating spaces that always put people first. From Ramada, Crown Plaza and Radisson to Intercontinental, Hilton and Marriott, she’s done it all.

Some of her latest projects include design work for Oasis Mall in Dubai, Radisson, Citymax, Pullman, Movenpick, and Hilton hotels and one she’s particularly proud of – Emirates Park Zoo and Resort. This recent refurbishment project for a private client was done in two phases, immediately bringing 30% higher occupancy rate.

Described by her clients as “down-to-earth” and someone who brings VALUE to their vision, Dina fully understands the complexities of the business landscape in the Middle East, making her a reliable and trustworthy design expert for hospitality and luxury residential interior projects.
