Born in 1990 Tehran, Iran, I grew up in a family of craftsmen, Seeing them working with their hands and creating, was so inspiring that it seemed the single most enjoyable way to express one's self and living. I began my career while graduating from Tehran University with a BA in Industrial design with focus on garment and accessories; in my final thesis I design a backpack for visually impaired elementary students. Soon after, I moved to California as a freelance costume and fashion designer. Come 2017, I shift my focus into the fashion industry and began my MFA in fashion design. And graduated in August 2020. For my thesis collection I took inspiration from “ZoorKhaneh”, a traditional system of athletics and rituals that fuses sports with other aspects of life.
