"Physics taught me how systems behave. Design taught me how people feel. Whether I am shaping an interface, a brand, or a page, I am asking both questions at once."

I hold a Master of Science in Medical Physics (Radiological Sciences and Protection) from the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and I worked as a medical and health physicist at Boston Medical Center and Harvard Medical School.
My research compared MRI against CT and PET imaging on detection accuracy, aiming to reduce the radiation dose patients receive by guiding which modality is used. I also ensured imaging systems met FDA accuracy and safety standards and translated complex clinical data for care teams.
That same rigor drives my design work: research, data analysis, usability testing, and making sure what ships holds up in real use. Art was never separate. From age six I studied fine art under the Iranian master Espahbodi, then earned a BFA in graphic design and illustration from Tufts University.

My years in brand and editorial design sharpened my eye for typography, hierarchy, and the restraint that makes complex information feel calm.
My time in healthcare gave me something just as important: real empathy for the person on the other side of the screen, whether patient, clinician, or technician.
Once you have watched people struggle with systems under stress, you stop designing for an abstract persona and start designing for someone whose day you can picture.

The rest is harder to put on a resume. As an Iranian-American, I was raised between a culture that has looked to poetry, calligraphy, and mathematics for meaning for thousands of years, and a history where the right to speak, learn, and choose was contested at real cost.
The immigrant experience on top of that teaches you to adapt fast, read a new system before assuming anything, and understand what is at stake when someone reaches for a tool and needs it to work.
It is an unconventional background for a designer, and I think that is its strength.

In the end, it’s about creating with purpose. I believe that every design tells a story: whether it’s through a website, a photograph, or a brand identity.
