About

Born in the heartland of the United States to immigrant parents, Ammar's journey is a tapestry woven with threads of diverse experiences and boundless passion.

Growing up as a first-generation American in the Midwest, Ammar's childhood was a harmonious blend of classic Americana and vibrant cultural traditions. From baseball games under the Midwest sun to traversing the globe to maintain familial and cultural ties, Ammar's upbringing laid the foundation for a unique perspective and an insatiable curiosity for the world.

Guided by the values of hard work and education instilled by his parents, Ammar initially ventured down paths in pre-medicine and pre-law. Yet, it was his innate calling for creativity that eventually led him to pursue his true passion in art, architecture, and design.

After earning his Bachelor of Arts, Ammar's professional journey took him to the bustling corporate landscape of the “Twin Cities” of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. However, it wasn't long before his talent for designing community spaces and fostering collaboration caught the attention of his peers and superiors alike.

In 2002, Ammar left Corporate America and embarked on a soul-stirring odyssey, traversing the globe with nothing but a backpack and a thirst for inspiration. Amidst the cacophony of cultures and unfamiliar landscapes, he rediscovered his passion for art and design, breathing new life into his creative endeavors.

Upon his return to Minnesota, Ammar founded Dwelling Designs, a boutique firm specializing in contemporary and modern interior design. With an eye for detail, Ammar's creations breathe life into spaces, forging connections between individuals and their environment.

Driven by a belief in the power of art and design to transcend boundaries, Ammar seeks to inspire others to embrace their own unique identities and find solace in the interconnectedness of our shared human experience.
