Anam Clarke, founder of The Designers’ Studio, has in excess of 18 years of design experience, 15 of those in the Middle East including running her own practice. Born and raised in London, her grandfather and mother were both architects and designers. Her passion for art, architecture and design was rooted in her from the very start. She was in the financial field for many years before changing careers and chose to study in her adult life at the prestigious Inchbald School of Design in Chelsea, London. She moved to the UAE 15 years ago and has worked in Residential, Commercial, Hospitality &Food & Beverage projects globally. She quickly realised there is very little flexibility in adult education. She founded The Designers Studio with the ethos of supporting adult learning at any age, with flexibility, support & collaboration.
She fought for policy changes within the education system both in the UK and UAE allowing adults to have the freedom to learn around their own lives. This policy change has allowed our students to take modules with breaks in between courses, and take up to 36 months to complete Diplomas. After students have completed their education, The Designers Education Studio facilitates internship and job opportunities and are proud to state that we are the leading institute in student employment.
