Graphic designer and Illustrator
about me
I was born on a hot summer day in Rasht which is called the city of rain. That is why I love rain and the smell of rain-soaked soil. The people of Rasht have an interesting custom: When a baby's first tooth comes out, they place some tools in front of her and they believe that whatever she picks up will become the main tool of her career in the future. As evidenced by a photo, by picking up a pink marker, I chose my part in the world from childhood. I became an illustrator and graphic designer to share my world with children and sometimes adults. In 2001, I was accepted into the graphic design department at the Art & architectural Azad University and from the very beginning I realized that I loved my field of study that became my path of my life and my way of seeing and exploring. In 2006, I was accepted into the master's degree and continued my studies. Despite the fact that I would work over all the years of study and had mastered various software, after finishing university, I gradually felt that manual work is more attractive to me than the digital world. My passion for drawing increased Little by little. I took my habit of scribbling on paper more seriously, improved it and gradually entered the world of illustration; a world in which I find my lost past, and I picture a colorful future. And this is how I became both a graphic designer and an illustrator. Both paths help me follow my dreams; the dreams full of light, color and image. In the city where I grew up, I always saw trees and colorful fruits everywhere I looked. The sky was blue and each cloud had its own story. I used to wake up with the rooster`s crowing and the crickets chirp was my lullaby. I'm still looking for the woodpecker that knocks on the tree next to our house. I do not fantasize, I illustrate everything that I have actually seen.
