Hafidha Soumaiya
CMO & Co-Founder
The youngest and somehow the strictest of us all. Not just a Ḥāfiḍah, but also an ‘Ālima student, so yes, we’re permanently on our best behaviour. She runs our social media with an iron fist (and flawless aesthetics). Opinionated? Absolutely. Funny? Effortlessly. Keeps us in line? Without hesitation. Our unofficial compliance officer, official social media queen, and the only person who can make both the CFO and CMO nervous with one raised eyebrow. If it’s posted, approved, or perfectly captioned, you already know who’s behind it.

A growth and strategy-oriented professional with a background in Earth and Environmental Sciences. Ibrahim brings strong expertise in GIS mapping, spatial data analysis, and environmental fieldwork, using geospatial technology to visualize and solve real-world problems.
