As design principal at a human-centered consultancy, I lead teams of product and user-experience designers and researchers using human centered design approaches, behavioral science methods, and visual communication skills to bring clarity into complex business and regulatory events.
We deliver design solutions that meet and exceed business and user needs. My teams are collaborating with cross-functional teams across Business, Technology, and Development, to define and implement design strategies and roadmaps.

Salam Salam! is a contemporary Iranian art exhibition and cultural festival in Hampshire, UK held by Magic of Persia Foundation. Salam means hello in Persian and the identity is created using archival envelopes, letters, and Persian stamps mailed from Iran, dating back to 1920s.
Process:
We partnered with the Magic of Persia foundation from developing concepts for the visual identity to creating a cohesive set of graphics on posters and fliers leading to the event. We developed digital and social media campaign across platforms, and the graphics on the day of events for transforming an industrial warehouse into a fun, cultural festival for families.

This study explores the collective identity and official culture of the Islamic Republic of Iran as it has been promoted through the official postage stamps released by the government between 1979 and 2019.
This collection has been divided and studied in detail based on identified thematic categories. Each category is then explored concerning the most important events and individuals that have influenced the country’s collective identity and cultural history not included in the official stamps.
