Dizeri Maimunah Binti Mokhtar is a successful Malaysian architect who has been practicing since 1985. She specializes in residential projects through her firm, A.D.W. Arkitek SDNBHD, which she co-founded in 1992. One of her most challenging projects was the design and construction of semi-detached houses in Taman Equine, Seri Kembangan from 2007 to 2010. As both the site director and project manager, Dizeri took on an expanded role that was outside her typical expertise as an architect, which she found difficult dealing with indecisive corporate clients throughout the project.
