I am an Art Director and Graphic Designer with extensive experience in visual identity for brands, creative content, and interface design. My work regularly involves creating visual identities, social media layouts, brand books, product teasers, and promotional videos. I thrive in multi-lingual, agile work environments.

My core services include visual identity, graphic design, UI design, visual concepts for social media and campaigns, 3D modeling, 3D teasers and animations/ads, digital assets, and illustrations. Alongside my expertise in fundamental design principles—such as composition, color, form, and shapes—I have also delved into basic web coding (HTML, CSS, PHP, JQuery). This technical knowledge enhances my understanding of both sides of product design and underscores the importance of user-centered design. To further expand my skill set, I have pursued virtual specialization courses in user experience (UX), equipping myself with a broader spectrum of related knowledge.

Over the past five years, I have primarily worked in startups, beginning with Karafsapp, the fastest-growing startup in Iran’s health market. Following this, I relocated to Germany, where I provided IT services and solutions in an IT consultancy company before returning to the health sector with a startup in the medical laboratory field.

I am eager to continue this journey, join new teams, and contribute my expertise to new projects.
