Ahmad AbouZanat
Founder & Lead Designer
What you are looking forward to at KBIS 2026? “Overall, KBIS proved to be an invaluable resource for designers like myself who work fluidly across residential and commercial projects in both the standard and high-end markets. I’m also very happy to share that I will be speaking on a panel at the Next Stage this year among colleagues I deeply respect, discussing all things design.”
How long have you been attending KBIS? “Last year marked my first KBIS experience, and it was truly energizing. Being on the show floor, reconnecting with colleagues including those we’ve collaborated with, and discovering new brands and potential partners was incredibly inspiring. The programming was thoughtfully curated, the talks were insightful, and the breadth of products showcased offered solutions across aesthetics, budgets, and timelines. I was also fortunate to design a vignette for Pfister’s booth and to participate in their panel, which made the experience even more meaningful.”
