Born and raised in Copenhagen, Drew decided to follow his passion for the arts in London in 2006. After studying Fashion Design and Marketing, Fine Art BA and Fashion Entrepreneurship and Innovation MA, he began to work within both the Art and Fashion industries in London. From curating, developing and project managing an event space in East London in 2009 (Ground Floor Left ) to working at companies such as Christian Louboutin, Matchesfashion and Browns. Due to the lack of Arab representation within the creative industries, he founded NAFS.SPACE, an online platform celebrating creative Middle Eastern and North African Queers, varying from artists, fashion, music and literature. As a cis male, Gay, Egyptian, he takes inspiration from identity politics focusing on gender, culture identities and intersectionality.
