I am a multidisciplinary artist with a BA in Architecture and an MFA in Scene Design & Technology from UMass Amherst, and I am currently a film student. I have experience in writing, directing, acting, photography and editing. Skilled in visual storytelling, editing software, and creative collaboration.

Storytelling has always been my biggest passion and I always try to explore different approaches to tell stories.  I’ve played in different plays as an actor and dancer and worked in physical theater for a couple of years. Also, for several years, I have managed and directed a musical / theater group” DAGHIGHAN CHI” and we have had over 800 performances for kids. I have designed, directed, and written all musical plays for this group.  
I designed two shows at UMass Amherst “WHAT OF THE NIGHT” by María Irene Fornés and “Bacchae of Euripides”. Before my thesis, I participated in “MARIONETTE”, a Collaborative Technical Design and Fabrication Project at UMass which led me to choose puppetry for my thesis. I created a puppetry Stopmotion movie, Zal & Simorgh that tells one of the stories of Shahnameh. Communicating this story with the puppets is directly influenced by Kheime Shab Bazi (Traditional Marionette Theater) and shadow play. You can watch it on  Set Design Project page.
