Badria Kazim

Hi, I’m an Emirati creator, innovator, and National Scholarship holder from the UAE Government. I blend business, emerging technology, and creativity to shape the future. From PwC’s Emerging Tech Lab, where I built prototypes like metahumans and piezoelectric flooring, to launching Furrsa.com, an AI-powered metaverse job platform, and now studying at the Iovine and Young Academy at USC, I’ve explored everything from fintech to biotech, and I’m just getting started.

​

I’m passionate about using creative design and innovative technology to drive inclusivity and sustainability, inspired by my multicultural upbringing and my experiences as a minority in my own country. Whether I’m reimagining the integration between people and technology, painting murals to brighten schools, or mentoring young women to break barriers, I’m committed to creating impact.

​

When I’m not working on projects, you’ll find me chasing adventure, skiing black slopes, diving shipwrecks, or exploring new board games (Settlers of Catan champion here!). I believe in leading with empathy, designing with purpose, and bringing a sense of curiosity and joy into everything I do.
