OUR FOUNDERS

In 2016, Dr. Lina Yousef, a versatile scientist, and Saeed AlKhoori, a former student, connected over their shared interest in the UAE's resilient plants. By 2017, their collaborative efforts resulted in filing a patent and gaining recognition for their innovative research. This pivotal moment marked the inception of their entrepreneurial journey. With seed funding from Catalyst in Masdar City, they laid the groundwork for De L’Arta.

In 2018, Sarah Yousef joined the team, bringing her brand and marketing expertise. Together, they embarked on a transformative journey, shaping and sculpting the identity of De L'Arta.

"...the desert plants were calling us to be explored."
