About

I’m a multidisciplinary designer with over 8 years of experience in graphic design and storytelling. Based in Tehran, fluent in English, Turkish, and Farsi (Persian), open to relocation. I’m a Visual Designer at Badkoobeh Advertising Agency, BTL unit, where I create structured, emotionally resonant visuals for marketing campaigns, brand activation proposals, and storyboards. With a background in cinema and screenwriting, I bring a deep understanding of narrative techniques and audience engagement to my visual work.

From the ages of 13 to 24 I graced various theater stages, culminating in my portrayal of Lady Macbeth in my final production. This journey sparked my passion for cinema and led me to study at a top Iranian art university, where I served as a script supervisor for over 15 short films and directed one. I now focus on storyboard design, 3D concepts, and freelance projects, always listening to people, environments, and emotions to shape engaging visuals.
