Designer Interview
24 April 2018
when i was a kid, i was alone. I was trying to fill my time with exploring all thing around: people's characters, how my toys made, how my mom cook and etc. this explores made me a motionless kid and it was save my energy and increase it for an explosion. A few years later i faced with dancing, and the explosion happened. My old explorations and my thrilling moments in dance, encouraged me to be a designer. so i'm designing everything in my world.

alwaysi'm always feel creativity inside
simplicitycause it can connect easily to user, environment and etc.
all of emotions, it depend on the part that i'm at
Happiness
how the connection its made with me
designers are like gods. they create and after the creation responsibilities come up. somehow we decide the people look at a thing and dont look at the other things, we plan for their how thinking. maybe its scary a little but designers should be very careful about their designs.its not matter its a product or a service it can direct the routes of people's lives.
its for people and it Has grown among people. so how, the future of design depends on people, their needs, their lives and etc.
my last exhibition was in Tabriz last year and my next one will be in Shiraz
they come from everywhere, my daily life is the main source
like i said before, its simplicity and truth in my product/services are showing my style
I'm living in Iran and yes absolutely it does. Iran has its old roots in human history and its a nice option for the designers that lives in such countries, but the limits that this culture gives to your designs, i think its not good for creativity.
usually both side agree with something a project and with a time limit i send them the designs
its a good question. i think companies must trust the designers, its difficult i know, but its necessary.
my design process usually began with a daily problem. i look at people with high attention. then when i found the need or problem i start to think about how can i fix that with simplest way? make an answer simple or answer a question simply is the most difficult and enjoyable part of my design process. when i reach the answer i think about the details after that i go with the other things that matter in that field.
pens, notebooks, chair, mirror, kitchen knife
usually i dont eat breakfast but i like to drink hot drinks at morning, all the day im thinking, im just keep tinking about everything. about people, about my personal issues, about anything you say.my most favorite time in a day is the afternoon, i think its very joyful. mostly my designs come from this time. im also like the night, im sleeping to dreaming. i love dreaming, most times i dream about new designs, its so excitement.
see better, focus on details
i think in each part of designers we can see these negatives and positives thing, but the most important thing here is the designer him/herself.what is negative and what is positive for him/her?for example the responsibility in design, it seems a problem for someone and for another person its a joyful positive thing.
simplest truth
