Stephanie Hanna and Aline Gemayel winners of “Francophone Women in Investment” awards

18-2-2016

Stephanie Hanna and Aline Gemayel won the Francophone Women Award in Investment World 2015. While Hanna won the first prize for her project ‘Your Name’, Aline Gemayel and Emile Arayes came second for the Modeo interior decoration application of an original furniture design that goes from the internet directly to the consumers’ offices or residences. Hanna’s project was based on her experience in the West where uses ‘etiquette’ labels are widely used by parents to communicate with their children at school, or by scouts while practicing their hobbies. In an interview with An Nahar, Hanna explained that she was inspired by her experience as a mother who continuously seeks to find the matching etiquette labels for her children and designed a specific application for the contest that uses French and English labels for kindergarten kids. The latter application helps daycare centers to identify the needs of children to diagnose or determine the type of disease or allergy to certain foods which they suffer from. The idea for the ‘Modeo’ project, on the other hand, came after an arduous search by interior decorators, Arayes and Gemayel, for their marital home furniture. They finally agreed to develop an application, still under experimentation, that will facilitate the selection of furniture for houses or offices. The said application, Gemayel explained, will grant consumers the opportunity to personally design their furniture, and thereafter send it to Emile and Aline for implementation in a short period of time, or alternatively choose from an existing collection of private offices or kitchen cabinets or other modern home accessories.
