Hamees Gabr holds a master's in Urban Design from the Harvard Graduate School of Design and a bachelor of architecture from the Bernard and Anne Spitzer School of Architecture. Since Gabr was young, she has wanted to be an architect to promote social change, reshape boundaries, and build a better world for the future. Architecture is a boundless field with a unique anthropological beauty unmatched by any other career, where imagination and a sense of design create an authentic, long-lasting impact on the world. Architecture became a place where Hamees could study and relate her passions to improve how she designs space. In 2019, Hamees became a founding board member of the organization "Future Architects of the Middle East.”
