About Us
Hi, I’m Samar
I’m a designer, FF&E consultant, concept artist, product and furniture designer, mother,
educator, dreamer — and the world’s most curious human (really).
From statement pieces to building brands, I blend emotion and utility into everything I touch,
I craft experiences that are as expressive as they are functional. really
This is my story
My work is rooted in storytelling — bold, soulful, and made to stir something in you. I don’t follow trends. I follow intuition, curiosity, and a deep desire to create pieces that become part of your story.
Every collection I is driven by mood, meaning, and the belief that design should spark joy and speak louder than words.
I also collaborate with premium brands to create custom collectible pieces — transforming abstract ideas into functional art product.
My work isn’t here to whisper — it’s here to speak loudly, challenge norms, and invite you into a world that’s anything but ordinary.
Welcome to my world — where art dares to speak, play, and rebel
What I Do:
I turn imagination into objects that live with you.
Home Decor that smile back at you.
Furniture that blooms like a sculpture.
Product design for brands that cradle identity.
Who I Create For:
I collaborate with bold brands, fashion-forward minds, and curious collectors who are done with playing it safe. My clients come to me when they want to turn a product into a piece of art — from luxury packaging and furniture to personalized drops that can’t be replicated.
I’m always chasing the same goal:
To create pieces that uplift your mood, ignite imagination, and become part of your story.

You have a design vision? Express yourself
In 2017, I joined forces with my husband and became the design director and co-owner of our interior architecture firm. Since then, we’ve been building our design empire — one project at a time — pushing creative boundaries together and transforming spaces into living works of art. It’s where strategy meets emotion, and where big visions come to life
What is The Little Iya?
The Little Iya was born with Iyana — my daughter, my muse, and the face behind the brand. Inspired by my motherhood journey and a desire to create spaces that nurture and empower, this brand is a celebration of the beautiful, curious world she’s growing into. Rooted in Montessori principles, The Little Iya specializes in premium wooden furniture, thoughtfully designed play units, and bespoke nursery concepts that support independent play and meaningful development. Every piece is crafted with care, blending artistry and function to cultivate spaces where imagination, comfort, and learning can thrive.
Why I Do It:
Because I believe design is a form of rebellion.
Because I want to help you escape the ordinary.
Because I’m obsessed with turning everyday moments into magic.
Want to work together?
Let’s create something worth collecting.
