PERSONAL

about me

I’m a landscape architect, digital artist, and photographer with a Master’s degree in Sustainable Architecture and Landscape Design from Politecnico di Milano (2023). My work is driven by a deep interest in the relationship between nature and the built environment, with a focus on sustainable and site-responsive design.

I joined GTL Landscape Architecture in Kassel first as an intern, and have been working there since.W During this time, I’ve contributed to both competition and real-world projects. Competitions have allowed me to experiment with bold, conceptual thinking, while built projects have taught me the value of technical precision, clarity, and team collaboration.

From public parks and university campuses to plazas and private villas, my work spans a range of scales and cultural contexts. I’m dedicated, curious, and continually driven by meaningful design challenges.

PHOTOHRAPHY

Landscape as Memory

A quiet geometry of trees and light — a natural threshold into underworlds.

Kassel, Germany – “Gate of Light”

A hidden grove for one — a pause of stillness in the city.

Piacenza, Italy – “The Secret Garden”

What was built is gone. What’s left is a question.

Hormuz, Iran – Red Silence

Once part of something larger — now standing alone, held by earth and silence.

Fandoghloo, Iran – The Last Stone

Like Abbas Kiarostami said, “It’s different because it has a soul.” Kurdistan, Iran – The Tree

I returned, and the tree was there. Not the same — quieter, maybe more certain.

This view became a drawing (on the cover page), and the drawing became a meditation.

Drawn during the 12 days of war between Iran and Israel, June 2025.

From the mountain, the landscape breathed, and I did too.
