Rozan Almughanni
A Palestinian designer, born in Gaza City in 2001 and raised in Ramallah after moving there in 2009. Her interest in fashion began early, around seventh grade, growing gradually into a clear academic goal.
She later pursued fashion design at university, yet the specific direction of her creativity didn’t fully emerge until the final year. During her graduation project, working with biomaterials opened a new world of experimentation and sustainable thinking. This experience led to the development of her first material innovation (Chia Seed Leather).
Driven by curiosity and passion for bio-based design, she continues to explore new materials and aspires to push this field further with the right support and opportunities.
