About Me

I have been working as a professional graphic designer since 2004, even while I was still a student. After completing my degree in graphic design, I worked for four years at an advertising company in Tehran.

However, I decided to enhance my skills in the motion picture industry. So, I made a leap and enrolled in a filmmaking course at the Tehran Institute of Technology. That was my first step into the media industry.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with various companies and significant organizations. My portfolio includes commercial videos, cinematic opening titles, music videos, and animations.

In 2019, I began pursuing a BA in Animation at Leeds Arts University to further develop my knowledge and skills. As a result, my animated documentary received a nomination and was selected for several film festivals, and I obtained my BA with 1st class honours in Animation.
