Seven threads

01

Designing the Future

Study · ship · impact

Six years of product design across fintech, e-commerce and AI, from the first research call to the shipped feature. The thread: turning messy, real-world complexity into products people actually use.

Field research and workspaces: usability sessions with shop owners and day-to-day design work
02

Bridging Passions

Code · systems · teaching

Computer engineering taught me how systems work; teaching taught me how people learn them. I sit between designers and engineers, and translate both ways.

03

A Musical Heartbeat

Tar · setar · calm

Tar and setar, Persian string instruments, are my reset button. Music trains the same muscles as design: timing, restraint, and knowing when to stop adding.

Culinary Adventures

Flavor · experiment

Cooking is prototyping you can eat: hypothesis, test, iterate. Some experiments ship, all of them teach.

Home cooking experiments: Persian dishes, tahdig, burgers and more
05

The Thrill of the Game

Football · tennis · pace

Football and tennis keep me honest about feedback loops: you find out immediately whether the plan worked.

Sports moments
06

Stories of the Past

History · poetry · pages

History and Persian poetry are my long-form reading. They are a masterclass in narrative, and narrative is half of design.

Persian literature and poetry: Shahnameh, Rumi, Hafez, Khayyam and more
07

Green Fingers

Plants · patience · growth

Plants grow on their own schedule, not yours. Good products do too; patience is a design skill.
