About 

As a seasoned registered architect in Iran, I have 10+ years of experience in architectural designing, supervising, and execution of buildings, vertical structures, and commercial institutions. Throughout my career, I have successfully led and delivered over 200 diverse projects, ranging from luxury villas to government-funded ventures. I was responsible to accomplish several commercial projects included but not limited to design, inspection, and overseeing the construction execution of Iran's largest emergency room spanning and the region's largest specialized infertility treatment center. My portfolio also showcases a flair for crafting innovative office and residential buildings, as well as transformative coastal town developments. Recognized for excellence, I established and managed my own firm which has received prestigious national architecture awards, and our work has been prominently featured in renowned Iranian architecture books and magazines since its incorporation in 2014.
