Summary Statements
Award winning graphic designer with 10+ years’ experience. Strategic, multidisciplinary designer & illustrator with an eye for innovation and detail perfection. I’ve worked the gamut of clients (Opel Auto, Mapna Co., Taftan airline, Valfajr holding company, Goltune Digital Magazine to name a few) and although my skill set is vast, my greatest expertise revolves in the worlds of 2D graphic design, painting, books illustration, brand identity design, content creation and print collateral. I also thought graphic design and illustration in different media at the university for 12 years and written several books in the related field. My wish is to combine my knowledge and experience in these areas, to deliver the best creative to my employer’s clients and their audiences. I have a keen eye for details and experience with publishing material
