About — Story in Progress
I’ve never fit neatly into a single box. At 16, I started searching for a path that felt like mine. At 22, I walked away from nursing school — a choice that felt like failure then, freedom now. At 30, I’m turning toward practical math and building systems that work in the real world.
I wasn’t born into this language or this path — I built both, one sentence at a time. This page is part CV, part essay, part diary — a story in progress.
Milestones (not boxes)
-
16
First backpack. First map of my own. I began testing paths instead of waiting for permission.
-
22
I dropped out of nursing school. It felt like failing a script I didn’t write — and became the beginning of writing mine.
-
30
Bilingual builder, designing a life and brand in motion. Turning toward practical math next (in ~2 months).
Kooleposhti + YF Project
Kooleposhti is my startup and lab — a framework and community for designing a life & brand from scratch, especially when you’re building in a second language.
To collaborate across borders, I co-founded YF Project, an LLC registered in the UAE — a simple backbone that gives legitimacy to my work and to my brother’s (director & animator).
Rooted in Iran. Open to the world.
Clients & Collaborations
A few threads that shaped how I think about stories, systems, and design — across publishing, performance, consultancy, and product. Mostly in Iran; always learning.
- Nahr Publishing — independent publishing & book craft
- Narok Art Stream — film, theatre, and movement
- Ariana — advertising materials & event touchpoints
- …and more collaborations that taught me new tools and questions
Living Portfolio
Part CV, part essay — updated as I move. What I work on:
- Brand systems & messaging (bilingual, minimal, human)
- Website structure & clean HTML/CSS builds
- Publishing workflows (manuscript → print-ready)
- Creative direction across film/theatre/music
Still writing. In two languages. For real life.
If you’re in-between, translating yourself, or building your own strange path — you’ll find pieces of yourself here.
