I was born in a city rich of ancient architecture, craft, and history - Isfahan, Iran - and raised until the age of 9 near the hottest point on earth, the lut desert. Moving across the globe to Vancouver I never had a sense of identity. But I learned to discover a part of myself in every place I travel to, adding it to the never ending puzzle. I have now found myself in Milano, building on my passion for sustainable management in the creative industries.

I love the smell of sea & sand, dancing & am constantly thirsty, for adventures and unplanned trips. And for me it's the encounters that make the experience.
