Works
Commercial Film for INFICON
In this project, I collaborate with INFICON and Bialetti, respectively, Swiss manufacturer of industrial instruments, and Italian brand of coffee cookware.I was tasked to create a video showing a successful leak test of Bialetti coffee products using INFICON's Contura S400. Along with demonstrating the test, I also included a visual story in the opening to serve as a hook. The video was produced using green screen technology.
Commercial Film for INFICON
In this project, I made a product video for INFICON's newly announced leak detector device, ELT Vmax. I tried to conform to the corporate identity and make the complex test easy to follow with a steady rhythm.
Industrial Photos for Inficon
I'm a hobbyist filmmaker. Every now and then, I shoot zero-budget short films with friends as little experiments.

About me
Born in Tehran, Iran, in 1997, I’ve come to see myself as a creative spirit—drawn to projects at the intersection of art and communication.Since graduating from the IFS Film School Cologne in the summer of 2024 with a master's degree in Digital Narratives, I have been working as a film programmer at Film Festival Cologne.I'm driven by work that brings audiovisual aesthetics and storytelling to life. While my main expertise is in film and video, I have also explored immersive formats, photography, and motion graphics.At home, I’m a lifelong cinephile, often lost on Bandcamp exploring indie music, grounded in yoga, and lately adding a bit of Karate to the mix.

Spinner
A promotional video I created for an awareness campaign in collaboration with the digital agency, Salesera.Here, I played with the visual idea of 'spin'—linking pottery and DJing, two art forms where you’re constantly spinning a disc.
