M

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.

GRADUATE TEACHING ASSISTANT

The class provided students with an introduction to Adobe Creative Suite as well as an exploration into 4D design principles, video editing, time-based art, and photography. The software utilized in the class included After Effects, Premiere, and Photoshop. I collaborated with students and advised them with their technical and creative skills as well as other administrative duties. I graded papers, led small-group discussions, and answered questions in the online discussion board on canvas.
