Hi, I’m Behnaz Baghaie, a design-focused professional with a background in industrial management and international trade. I lead Knot Studio Tehran, a Tehran-based team that creates custom designs using materials like wood, mirror, and steel. I enjoy turning ideas into tangible products and crafting customer-centered experiences.
With over seven years in import/export and business development, I recently gained market research experience in Germany and am passionate about learning and continuous improvement. I blend problem-solving, creativity, flexibility, and attention to detail to deliver high-quality results and scalable design solutions.
