Designer Interview
21 March 2018
I started my studies in Computer Engineering at Iran University of Science and Technology but changed my major to Industrial Design.After graduating from IUST I got my M.A. In Industrial Design from Islamic Azad University, and now I'm continuing my education at Putra University, Malaysia as a PhD student In Industrial Design.
Iranian Industrial Designers Institute, IIDI, Is an institute working on Design and Innovation in Product and Interior design.
For me Design is Nothing but Thinking, Innovation and Responsibility.
My gratest concern as a designer is Designing the people's everyday life. I mean the things that may not be noticed at the first glance but their importance can be understood with a little attention.

As many other designers, I prefer to start on paper, drawing some rough sketches to find the form and function that I'm looking for. After that I start to evolve the design by some detailed drawings and then it comes to computer. I Prefer to model my designs using rhino3D and render them on 3dsMax
I believe usability and affordance are the most important aspects of a designed product but having a uniqe form and gestalt is also a requirement
Resopnsibility
Feeling useful and then feeling happy about it
A design will be successful When it saves people from potential dangers or it rescues the culture of a society from disasters
The most important aspect will be having positive influence on the culture and after that ease of use and beauty
I believe that we, designers are one of the most responsible groups towards soceity since we can pervert the people's culture or elevate it by our designs.We are always connected to people, and make them Hopeful or desperate, joyful or depressed, healthy or sick, and all of these are somehow outcomes of our designs
Design is also evolving like other professions and what is concerning about it is the presence of designers who are aware of needs of society
I have not had an exhibition before but I hope with my progress in such competitions I can have my own Design exhibition
Most them come from a tender look to the everyday life's problems and needs
I live in Tehran, IranAnd yes I always try to show Iranian culture as an essence in my designs
I work on projects
Restricting the designer allways comes into tedious results. They should let the designers work on their own inspirations based on the projects. As we can see the innovation in such design competitions.
Thinking, Creativity, extraxting innovative parameters, basic sketches, analysis of basic sketches, rivision, finding the best design, rivision of the best design, Final design
Studying, reading, communication with family, talking with friends, praying
Always design to solve peoples problems, not to gain money
Thinking different
Thinking and morality
A normal sketch with details will take upto 24 hours but if we want to model it and create a 3D render it will take upto 48 hours
Interior and home appliance design
I enjoy designing everyday life tools and products, I always love to redesign what has became an ordinary part of peoples life
Teaching, Thinking, Designing
I and some of my students have some teamworks specially Mr. Ehsan Sayyad helps me alot with the renderings
