Studio
THALAATHA (ثلاثة — "three") started in 2019 when a strategist, a designer and an editor decided the best work happens when all three sit at the same table.
The story
So we built a studio where the brand, the publication and the website are made by the same people, in the same room, at the same time. It is slower to explain and much faster to do.
Today we are a team of 14 in Seef — strategists, designers, writers, developers and a producer who keeps everyone honest. We work with founders, family businesses and a handful of brave corporates across the Gulf.
What we believe
A joke nobody gets is not a joke. Clarity first, then we play.
Rough work shown on Tuesday beats polished work shown too late.
We design for year three, not launch day, and we stick around to see it.
The people
Founder & Creative Director
Noor started in advertising, left to edit a magazine, and came back convinced the two should never have been separated. She runs the room, writes most of the words and still sketches every layout by hand.
Partner & Design Director
Yousif builds identity systems the way other people build furniture — to last. Fifteen years of brand work across the Gulf, and an unhealthy obsession with letter-spacing.
Partner & Head of Digital
Ali makes websites that load before you finish blinking. He leads the developers, argues for accessibility in every meeting, and wins.
