About
Fashion Designer and Digital Illustrator with a PhD in Islamic Art & Visual History, combining deep historical scholarship with real-world commercial design execution. I transform Persian and Islamic visual traditions into contemporary fashion collections, digital products, and surface pattern systems.
With 10+ years of experience across Iran, Austria, and Turkey, I specialize in Islamic geometric patterns, illumination aesthetics, and technically precise design outputs for production and education. I know traditional arts paintings and watercolor painting and my hand drawing is good. I illustrated a book recently but it haven’t published yet.
