Have you ever wondered what some of your favourite female figures get up to each day? MOJEH’s A Day In The Life series follows some of the region’s most influential female movers and shakers, from business owners and entrepreneurs to fashion designers and art gallery owners. This week, interior architect and designer Miri Najarian Khayat walks us through a day in her life, where a “typical” day is anything but.

I wake up at…

I’m woken up at 6:30am by my children.

My morning routine…

First coffee, then school drop-off and, luckily, I can get to the gym.

My typical day…

Is usually running around trying to find cool new items for my projects and managing the children and their activities.

My go-to beauty looks for the 9-5…

Pink lipstick is a must, plus mascara and my signature winged eyeliner.

For lunch, I eat…

Anything healthy I can get my hands on.

What I love most about my job is…

Everything about it, I’m so passionate about interior design that it’s not a job for me; I never really feel like I’m working.

And what I enjoy the least is…

The business aspect of running my own business.

When I get home…

It’s family time.

When I feel stressed, I…

Try to find inspiration to get my mind off what I’m stressed about. I also look at magazines or inspirational Instagram pages.

If I wasn’t an interior designer, I would be…

Nothing – I wouldn’t be me. I can’t imagine being anything else.
