About

After 5 years of helping companies within tech to grow their teams in Scotland, I've joined Discovered to help our clients in the MENA region to do the same. Having immersed myself in the tech and design community within Scotland through meet-ups, candidate coaching sessions and hosting my own tech podcast, I'm someone that is super passionate & excited to continue that in Dubai. If you're looking to build out your design team, hire your first Designer or are a Designer looking for a new role, then get in touch. For years, we've been at the forefront of the region's digital and technology landscape, helping to turn start-ups into unicorns, digitalizing governments and global businesses, and supporting the hyper-growth of some of the biggest names in the world. Our team lives and breathes digital. Their knowledge, passion, and commitment to supporting the growth of our clients have won us awards and made us who we are today. Founded in 2016, Discovered was created in order to change the conventional recruitment stigma and stereotype. Designed to offer employees the trust and freedom required of a modern-day employer while focusing on building communities and networks, and creating lasting relationships with our partners, rather than transactional business.
