Originally from Beirut, Lebanon, Yasmine moved to the United States in 2019 after a revolution began in her home country to explore, challenge, and push the boundaries of her education.
From studying Industrial Design, Innovation, Fine Arts, Graphic Design, Narrative Studies, Business Management, and Finance, Yasmine created her own major and degree over her 6 years (Grad. Summer 2025) at the University of Cincinnati as an ode to her love for curiosity.
“I have taken quite a handful of risks in my life... moving to the United States at 18, building my own major, moving to new cities, traveling around the world, and working in start-ups and different fields.
It has all brought me here. My compass is skewing somewhere new, and I am following it, whatever risk it may be.”
Yasmine has had multiple internships and experiences over her college education that have shaped her perspective and approaches:
Most recently as a True Ventures Fellow at True Ventures and UX Researcher at Hatch in San Francisco, California
