Hello, I'm
I am a Tehran-based visual artist and creative director, born in 1989. My work is driven by a deep fascination with the power of the image to communicate, connect, and transcend boundaries. While my professional career has largely focused on developing and executing visual strategies for brands, my core passion lies in using photography and moving images as a means of exploring the world, interpreting experiences, and engaging in a broader cultural dialogue.
My practice extends into visual storytelling and independent cinema, where contributions to still photography and visual production for award-winning films have been recognized at the Cannes Film Festival, Locarno Film Festival, and Sundance Film Festival. This dual fluency in commercial strategy and artistic production defines my approach — one that consistently bridges the gap between creative ambition and operational execution.
