The moment I got into the Tehran University of Art to study Industrial Design, my life changed forever. Immersing myself in a design-based discipline transformed not only how I think but also how I perceive the world around me. It was here that I realized the profound impact design can have—not just aesthetically but also functionally, improving lives in meaningful ways.

As I continued my journey, my passion for creating user-centered solutions grew stronger, leading me to pursue a master’s degree in UX and Service Design at Ulster University. This experience refined my skills and deepened my understanding of the design process, from user research to delivering holistic solutions. Throughout this journey, I have been fortunate to be encouraged and affirmed by friends, classmates, and collaborators who believe in my ability to make a real difference through design.
