Sofana Albahi
I graduated with a BSc. of Pharmacy and Biotechnology in the year 2012. I have always been passionate about a myriad of things: art and crafts, science, and literature. I consider myself lucky to have worked in nearly all of these, and many times even in jobs that mix some of these together.
I am now an English editor, translator specialized in scientific texts (En-Ar, Ar-En), and a still-learning artist. I've worked in different positions and industries the past 12 years, the last 4 of which were managerial, and these are all what made me into who I am today.
I feed on creativity and it's the common thing between the unique jobs I worked in. I love making things and seeing beauty in them.
My Journey
I established Kulaimat as a brand in late 2023.
I have always been passionate about words, arts, and science. I learned wood pyrography in art class at the age of 9, and I've kept my tools till this day. Around 10 years ago I recalled this form of art and started playing with my childhood tools, around the same time I was learning Arabic calligraphy, and this is how Kulaimat was born.
Through the past 10 years, Kulaimat was nothing more than a hobby. Late 2023, I decided to take Kulaimat to the next level of becoming a brand.
I enjoy making wood speak, turning thoughts into words engraved deep to last a lifetime.
I also want this cathartic form of art to be known for the beauty it beholds, and I have lately started teaching wood burning through giving workshops.
Kulaimat is an Egyptian brand that provides a variety of wooden products with unique, artistic, hand-burned designs.
We use the art of wood pyrography to create pieces that say something. The essence of Kulaimat is to highlight the depth and value of merging arts with words. We also do custom orders and we offer wood burning workshops.
Our pieces are made to evoke meaning and emotions in the receiver.
