ABOUT ME
Creative Producer
Story Alchemist
Maman to Layla — my life’s most luminous role.
I’m Maisha (which means “Life” in Swahili and “One Who Lives” in Arabic). I am a creative producer, filmmaker, and storyteller shaped by movement, culture, motherhood, and a life spent between cities. My work blends intuition with experience to create visual stories that stay with people long after they’re seen.
I come from traditional filmmaking, but my practice now includes the tools of a new era. I use AI to expand what is possible on screen, to build worlds, to move ideas into images with more freedom and fewer barriers. For me, it’s not about technology for its own sake. It’s about expression, integrity, and craft.
My work is rooted in emotional intelligence and a deep respect for the quiet power of nuance. Whether I’m producing a film, shaping a brand story, or creating a cinematic moment for a founder, I approach each project from the same place: clarity, feeling, and intention.
I believe the strongest stories don’t yell. They draw you in. They leave space for breath. They invite you to remember something true.
I live between places and seasons, but my constant home is story. I create cinematic atmospheres with depth, presence, and honest beauty.
