I am a versatile graphic designer, illustrator, painter, and video editor with a deep passion for visual communication. My academic journey has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of art and design, holding a BA in Graphic Design, an MA in Illustration, and a Ph.D. in Philosophy of Art from Iran. Additionally, I have further honed my skills with a Graphic Design Diploma from Pacific Design Academy in Victoria, BC, Canada.Throughout my career, I have developed a diverse skill set that includes logo design, posters, layouts, branding, illustrations, motion graphics, and video editing. My experience spans both academic and professional environments, having worked as a graphic designer for companies like Persian Broadcasting in my home country and Persian Caviar from the Netherlands remotely. I have also taught Graphic Design and Illustration at the University of Tehran. After moving to Canada, I worked remotely for Tukan Printing in Vancouver, BC, and have contributed to various graphic projects for Parsi Development in Victoria, BC. Additionally, during my studies at Pacific Design Academy, I was entrusted with designing posters and illustrations for each of their programs.I am proficient in industry-standard software such as Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and After Effects. My technical abilities extend beyond design software, as I possess introductory skills in coding (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) and am experienced with non-coding platforms like WordPress and Webflow. This allows me to create dynamic and engaging content across various digital platforms.Looking ahead, I am eager to continue evolving as a multidisciplinary designer. My goal is to blend my expertise in visual arts with emerging technologies, driving innovation in the digital space. I aspire to lead creative projects that not only meet but exceed client expectations, leaving a lasting impact in the world of design.
