Maral is one of the talented creators of HDIF's artisan handicrafts.
Maral came to Armenia with her family from Syria in 2015. Here she started a small handicraft business on her own, which has begun its wholesale production under the auspices of HDIF. Maral works with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Armenia by making different products for their MADE 51 project.
She enjoys her job a lot, which used to be her favorite hobby. Ever since Maral was a child, she had the unconditional love for Armenian culture and traditions. Maral's grandmother decided to teach her embroidery techniques. And It has been transformed into a creative handicraft based on a variety of traditional elements and symbols.
Maral has a unique artistic vision. Many people not only in Armenia but also abroad have noticed her beautiful works. That’s how she began participating in various international exhibitions held in Syria, France, Brazil, Canada and other countries as well. Today she gives master classes of handicrafts to Armenian women who want to pursue an art career.
