Born in the Midwest and shaped by a global perspective, I am an Iranian American graphic designer with a passion for blending creativity and analytical precision. My journey began in fashion, earning a BFA in Apparel and Textile Design alongside a BA in Chemistry from Michigan State University. This unique combination of artistic and scientific disciplines continues to inform my design approach, bridging aesthetics with strategy.
I honed my skills in the New York fashion industry, working as an assistant designer, leatherworker, and studio assistant for four years. From there, I transitioned into graphic design through pattern and printmaking, collaborating with London-based Etch Studio. This foundation led to my role as Senior Graphic Designer for Redmellon, a New Orleans rehabilitation and development company, where I expanded my creative horizons and tackled projects that spanned diverse industries.
As a designer, I thrive on pushing the boundaries of my craft and embracing challenges that demand innovation. I believe in the power of collaboration and the growth that comes from diverse perspectives. Whether leading branding projects or crafting dynamic visuals, I combine artistic ingenuity with strategic insight to deliver impactful solutions that resonate.
