Born in Iran and raised in Isfahan, I began painting Persian miniatures at the age of nine under the mentorship of Zohre Feizolahi, becoming her youngest apprentice. I was deeply influenced by the delicacy of Safavid art, the grandeur of ancient Persian architecture, and the mysticism of Persian poetry and literature, foundations that continue to shape both my creative work and the way I see the world.

After leaving Iran, I spent a decade in New York City, where my architectural practice expanded into a multidisciplinary journey spanning storytelling, exhibition design, and film.

Now based in San Francisco, I swim in the Bay, study Persian classical singing and poetry under the mentorship of Mahsa Vahdat, and continue creating across architecture and community.
