Artistic Journey

I started my artistic journey the moment I saw "The Lion King" at the age of... well, as far as I remember! I have always had a passion for telling stories and bringing them to life!
I created my own stories and visualized them in comics, sharing them with my friends and family.

2015- 2019

After the national exam, I was accepted into one of Iran’s top art universities, the Tehran University of Arts. With Animation unavailable as a bachelor’s degree, I pursued the next best path—Graphic Design.

Yet, my passion stretched beyond the boundaries of design. I sought out projects that resonated with my love for animation, character design, comics, and children's book illustration. Breaking away from convention came with challenges, but each hurdle only strengthened my resolve to carve out my own creative path.

Enrolling into Art school

I began my artistic journey at Noor Art School in Tehran, Iran, where I immersed myself in the rich tapestry of art history while exploring an array of creative mediums. From the click of a camera shutter to the delicate press of a hand-print, from shaping clay into pottery to piecing together intricate mosaics, each experiment added a new thread to my growing artistic identity.

Realizing that university couldn’t fully nurture my passion for animation, I sought answers beyond the classroom. I joined Hoorakhsh Animation Studios as a storyboard artist, later transitioning into a coloring and cleaning animator (2016–2018). Immersing myself in the studio’s workflow, I gained a deep understanding of the animation pipeline and industry.

At the same time, I took on an unexpected yet fulfilling role—teaching English to preschoolers. What began as a small endeavor soon expanded, and I found myself teaching students of all ages, from elementary school to high school, blending creativity with education in ways I never anticipated.
This experience opened my eyes to the possibilities of blending my artistic skills with education. I realized that storytelling, illustration, and animation could be powerful tools for learning, sparking my passion for creating engaging educational content.

Starting master's degree in Animation

After another national exam, I was accepted into a master’s program in Animation at Tehran University, one of Iran’s top universities. It was a moment of triumph—one that was soon overshadowed by the onset of COVID-19, which disrupted our studies and limited our opportunities. Faced with uncertainty, I knew I had to take the next step, forging a new path to pursue my dreams despite the challenges.
