Bio:

Born in Asadabad, Hamedan, Iran, in 1970, I am a Seasoned Graphic Designer with a Passion for Visual Communication. With a remarkable journey spanning over 25... years in the field of graphic design, I am driven by a profound passion for visual communication and a commitment to pushing the boundaries of creativity. My voyage into the world of design commenced in 1993, as I laid the foundation for my artistic pursuits by earning an Associate degree in Visual Arts from Bahonar University of Isfahan. Fueled by a thirst for knowledge, I embarked on a deeper exploration, earning a Bachelor's degree in Visual Communication from Tehran University of Technical. This academic journey equipped me with a profound understanding of design principles and the subtle nuances that contribute to its effectiveness. My professional began in earnest in 1996, when I joined Noavaran advertising company in Kermanshah. It was here that I honed my skills and gained invaluable experience. I orchestrated the layout of Bistun weekly newspaper, a pivotal milestone that ignited my passion for editorial design. Simultaneously, I collaborated with various newspapers in Kermanshah and Hamadan, amplifying my expertise across diverse media And I also designed graphic items. Since my foray into the world of design in 1997, I have donned numerous hats, transitioning seamlessly between roles such as designer, art director, responsible manager, and entrepreneur. Notably, I took the helm of Khaneh Aftab advertising company from 2001 to 2004 in Hamaedan, etching a distinctive creative imprint on its trajectory. Subsequently, as the Artistic and Executive Director of Aftab Sharq Advertising Center from 2004 to 2006 in Varamin Tehran, I spearheaded campaigns that resonated powerfully with audiences, reflecting my innate ability to craft impactful visual narratives. My dedication to design extends beyond professional realms, as I find immense joy in imparting my knowledge to the next generation. I've had the privilege of teaching graphics at Tehran Technical Complex, embodying my belief in the transformative potential of education. Throughout my journey, my work has garnered global recognition and accolades. My poster designs have graced exhibitions across diverse locales, including Iran, Italy, Australia, Mexico, Ecuador, France, Switzerland, Ukraine, Taiwan, Jamaica, and the United States. One of the defining moments of my career was the honor bestowed upon me for designing the "Change for Peace" poster—a tribute to the 70th anniversary of the United Nations General Assembly's resolution to eliminate nuclear weapons and all weapons of mass destruction. This accolade underscored the profound impact that design can have on conveying messages of global importance.
