I use design as a philanthropic tool
Design Inspiration and Nature
Shapes, lines and nature effortlessly finds its way into my art and design. Walks often fill my mind with so many ideas that keeping track feels impossible. But the most special moments come during sunrise hikes or mountain climbs. There’s something magical about moving through the dark and reaching the summit just as the sun rises, a feeling that deeply influences my creative process.
Illustrator, designer, and someone who enjoys creating visual assets that support human-centered initiatives.
I am a designer and enjoy crafting visual narratives that resonate with audiences. My design and illustration expertise seamlessly integrates problem-solving and creativity, elevating human-centered initiatives and documentation. I am committed to ensuring that communication with your audience is not only streamlined but also highly effective and well-organized.

Home (Iran) & culture
I grew up surrounded by the vibrant geometry and rich colors of Iran’s art and architecture, which naturally found their way into my creative expression. Now, being away, I feel an even stronger pull to incorporate those influences into my work. Inspired by the culture of the East and its craftsmanship, with intricate rugs, fabrics, and architectural details, I instinctively simplify forms in that style. Yet, when I let go of control, my illustrations take on a more fluid, organic movement, blending structure with spontaneity.
Community
I feel most grounded when I’m close to community. It’s a big part of why I love collaborating on creative projects, and why I’m happiest hiking or dancing with friends.

Art Direction Portfolio & Experiences
My time at Share Our Strength
I joined my team with limited experience in grammar editing and long-form layout design, and I was extremely lucky to be paired with my current manager, a writer, whose guidance helped sharpen my editorial eye and attention to detail. Now I genuinely enjoy working on reports. One of my key contributions has been generating multiple creative directions for each project—often developing early concept notes and visual elements that later became reusable assets, expanded into full collateral sets, or even evolved into entirely new campaign concepts. It’s been rewarding and energizing to see my work re-pitched by the design team for future projects.
