HRH Nourah Al Faisal

About this episode

I’m excited to welcome Her Royal Highness Nourah Al Faisal as this season’s inaugural guest. She’s the founder of bespoke jewellery brand Nuun, and the founder of design and research consultancy Ahdlal for Design. She’s also the great-granddaughter of King Faisal of Saudi Arabia.


As someone who grew up in Saudi, I continue to be impressed by the transformation taking place across the country. I talked to her about her work with Vision 2030, and her recent appointment as CEO of the Art of Heritage Center.


Members, we have something special for you to kick off Season 8! You can listen to the next 2 episodes today—just head over to our website (or in Apple Podcasts) and listen now.
