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)

  1. 16

    First backpack. First map of my own. I began testing paths instead of waiting for permission.

  2. 22

    I dropped out of nursing school. It felt like failing a script I didn’t write — and became the beginning of writing mine.

  3. 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.
