Talla Yahya holds a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design, complemented by a minor in Sustainability with an emphasis on architecture. Talla brings hands-on experience from working with prestigious firms like Gensler and L2Partridge (now Stantec), where she contributed to branded and high-end residential projects. At XBD Collective, Talla enjoys working closely with branded clients to fully understand their vision, enabling her to design spaces that reflect each client’s unique identity.

Talla is particularly skilled in conceptual visualization, hand sketching, colour matching, and furniture selection, drawing on her extensive knowledge of luxury brands to enhance her designs. She actively participates in art and design functions outside of work, from taking workshops in architectural design to visiting local art installations. In her current role at XBD Collective, she has worked on landmark projects such as the Rixos Residences and Ramhan Island Marina Towers. Talla is eager to continue expanding her skills, with plans to take a furniture wood shop class to deepen her knowledge of furniture design.
