#Spotlight on @JoannaArida, a Jordanian artist and actress, now embarking on a journey into screenwriting and directing. With a background in architecture, Joanna’s transition from the world of design to storytelling and fashion has been nothing short of mesmerizing.

Known for landing a leading role in Netflix’s “AlRawabi School for Girls,” Joanna Arida has quickly risen to fame, collaborating with renowned brands like #LouisVuitton, #MACCosmetics, and #CharlotteTilbury within the first few months from the premier of the show. Features on Vogue Arabia with Celebrity Makeup Artist @Hindash as well as landing a cover on @Jamaloukimag

As she ventures into screenwriting and directing, Joanna’s innovative approach, coupled with her unique blend of heritage and conservation architecture, promises to deliver an unparalleled cinematic experience. We eagerly anticipate what the future holds for this dynamic talent as she continues to leave her mark on both the screen and the world of design. #JoannaArida
