Born on November 24, 1987 in Iran. I first started my artistic career by writing short stories and learned music and painting as a teenager. In 2015, I started writing plays under the supervision of Mohammad Charmshir, a great Iranian playwright. Also, I studied stage design at the bachelor's level and theater directing at the master's level at the university, and in this way, I learned from professors such as Dr. Masoud Delkhah (theatre director), Dr. Farhad Mohandespour (director and dramaturg), and Kianoush Ayari (cinema director) and I presented my thesis by studying the works of Jerzy Grotowski, Tadeusz Kantor, Robert Wilson, Samuel Beckett and Bertolt Brecht with an excellent grade.
In 2016, I wrote and performed my first play called “Morwarid”, and after that I have directed and written 3 theaters, written and directed 5 short films, directed a documentary, written 5 plays, written 10 short scripts and 1 long script. I have in my artistic portfolio, many of which have been awarded in various domestic and foreign festivals.
My desire to create and see what I have written and then designed on the screen or stage always puts me on the path of searching for new opportunities.

Ideals and pains always grow together. Sometimes pains take precedence, and sometimes we achieve our goals and ideals. But there is a bitter truth, and that is, unfortunately, I should be very clear and straightforward with you: a happy ending is unlikely to happen.
