Digital Tools for Contemporary Art Practices

I am a visual designer, media artist, and illustrator from Tehran, Iran. I specialize in Design, Animation, and Art Direction. My illustrations are meant to provoke emotion and inspire conversation with my audience. My interdisciplinary work expresses complex ideas in an accessible way, and I use different mediums to achieve this.
I have combined my endless love for creativity and design with my passion for gender equality. To that end, I debuted my practice as a media artist with a project to raise awareness for gender equity using Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, thereby evoking empathy, understanding, and newfound passion within my audience.

Digital Tools for Contemporary Art Practices

Taught Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effect in this online course. Students followed the tutorials made for the course, and they asked me their technical questions. I was also responsible for grading student assignments. I taught Adobe products like Photoshop and Illustrator to create vectors and graphical images to make animations and videos using Adobe After Effects.
