To me, Design is a way to keep me alive and make me truly believe “I design, so I am!” Mostly taking on social issues, I envision my work as a powerful weapon in dealing with challenges of the current civilized world. My greatest inspirations are among everything I see, feel and experience.

Graphic design fills me with a sense of accomplishment and integrity. It has proven to be the most amenable driving force for translating the inner vision to outer reality. Through my posters I can express my thoughts, ideals, joys, and regrets to touch the mind and hearts of my fellow human beings. Having respected the true value of creativity, I always tend to focus on novel ideas in order to make memorable and ever-lasting works of art. I adore simplicity and minimalism and this is well perceived from the direction I take in my works.

I also enjoy photography -- framing everyday life, traditions and beliefs. I do not seek to capture exceptionally rare moments and events; to me, every moment is unique and worth being read and seen many, many times. I use my photography vision in my posters, and enjoy the combination of photos with other forms of art. Through my works, I'd like people to explore life as they never had before, and to be more sensitive to minor happenings in its every aspect. I am inspired by my beautiful country, Iran, and its rich culture. There still would be a lot more to explore and experience. Here, I just framed a pixel of it!
