WHO I AM
I am an architect (BArch, University of Tabriz) who cares as much about the story behind a design as the design itself. A space isn't just walls and function, it is the thoughts and feelings that shaped it, and my work is making that visible.
Projects usually reach me when the idea is already good but illegible: it lives in the architect's head and dies somewhere between the plan and the board. My job is to find the argument inside the project and give it a structure a jury or a client can follow in seconds, design that works, but also speaks.
What I enjoy most is making the design process feel alive, not just the final result.

Where it came from
BArch, Architecture
University of Tabriz
2018 – 2022
Final grade 17.13 out of 20
I graduated with a cardiac hospital designed around the patient's path to critical care.
Somewhere in defending it I realised I was more interested in how a design gets understood than in how it gets detailed, which is more or less the job I do now.

Off the clock
Beyond the studio
The same curiosity about people, applied outside the studio.
Five years of volunteering · weekly cleanups with Tamozi NGO, stationery kits for children in rural Kurdistan, a fundraising bazaar for the blind community in Mashhad, and outreach for the Iranian Society of Organ Donation.
A month on the road · travelling across Iran with a camera, photographing architectural details, corners, and random strangers along the way.
How people work · an ongoing interest in how people think and relate to each other, and another lens for understanding who the spaces I design are actually for.
