What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can design sensory, story-driven interiors and spaces—collaborating with multidisciplinary teams—and use my 3D modeling and visualization skills to deliver residential, hospitality, and heritage-led projects.

I’m an interior designer and architect with a culturally diverse perspective shaped by growing up in Iran and Dubai and studying design in both India and the UK. I design through a lens of sensory experience, exploring how spaces are felt through touch, time, and memory.

I’m a graduate of the Royal College of Art (MA Interior Design) and Manipal School of Architecture and Planning (B.Arch). With experience spanning residential, hospitality, product design, and heritage-led projects, I use design as a tool for storytelling, collaboration, and cultural dialogue.

I’m also technically hands-on across the design workflow, from ideation to visualization. I’m proficient in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Revit, Rhino, 3ds Max, Lumion, VRay, Enscape, Twinmotion, Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, and MS Office.

I’m a fast and eager learner, especially when it comes to mastering new design technologies and workflows. I’m drawn to opportunities where my spatial thinking and visual storytelling can translate concepts into compelling, lived-in environments.
