I began learning art since 10 years old at Espahbodi Art School in my hometown, Mashhad. At that time, I won first place in the first and second place in the second youth national visual arts festival in the field of graphic design. The most fruitful period of my artistic activity was my teenage years which led me to study architecture. I received BA & MA in Architecture from the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Tehran, Iran in 1998. I earned my Ph.D. in Urban Design and Planning, from the Faculty of Design and Architecture, University of Putra Malaysia (UPM). Art has been the most important hubby for me although it is more serious than a hobby in recent years. Now, what I am being illustrated, is the output of my past skills and colorful mental reserves that have become a dense mass of ideas over the years. The projects that I currently follow are a comprehensive result of my three activities in academic, professional, and artistic fields. During my career life, education, teaching, and professional practices in architecture and urban design have drawn my attention to numerous sociocultural capacities in the layers of human life.
