Graphic Designer, Illustrator and Animator

Hello, I’m Ratanaz. I grew up in a family that really valued creativity and finding solutions to problems. This environment has shaped my approach to design and life—one where I embrace challenges and find joy in crafting innovative solutions.

I believe that design challenges can be solved most effectively when a well-thought-out idea is combined with a visually appealing design. With experience spanning graphic design, illustration, short films, photography, and architecture, I carefully select the right materials and media for each project. My goal is to bring creative ideas to life through thoughtful execution and to provide impactful solutions that resonate.

I am currently open to freelance opportunities.
