I was born in Tehran in 1984 and immigrated to the US with my mom. She raised me in Southern California – Orange County to be exact. No easy feat for a single mom with only a highschool education. I moved to Denmark to live with my dad in my early teens. That didn’t work out so I dropped out of school to rap and make beats. Next thing I know I had a 10-year career in the music industry before going back to school to become a Kaospilot.
I graduated and made a brief pivot working with social media where I realized that my ideas are golden and that my soul belongs to creative direction.
I was reborn as an adman and started a creative agency. I started to direct commercials and films. I went viral a bunch of times. I even won some awards for my work.
Then I fell in love with AI and started having a passionate affair that I’m still entangled in to this day. I’m not a generalist - but a multi disciplined specialist who just happens to have a deep passion for many things.
I'm currently working as head of marketing at one of Denmark’s fastest growing AI start-ups GOODTAPE
