PRODUCT & SERVICE DESIGN / RESEARCH / TEACHING

Designing the connections between people, products and experiences.

From the movement of a learning object between school and home, to a visitor’s path through a museum and an interior shaped around an unexpected client need: research, decisions and material constraints meet in the work collected here. Each project opens onto original evidence.

The same design discipline applied to distinct settings: learning across contexts, AR-enhanced cultural visits, a built vehicle conversion, and an original Iranian camper research project. Read the case, inspect the artefacts, or follow the evidence all the way to its source.

01 · RESEARCH-LED PRODUCT–SERVICE SYSTEM · MSc 2025

Learning continuity across school and home

A multi-actor product–service system for children aged 6–8 learning English.

Problem: Classroom and home learning involved different materials, emotional cues and adult mediation, disrupting continuity.
Approach: Contextual observations, parent and teacher perspectives and benchmarking of 90+ existing tools were synthesised into five interrelated discontinuities.
Design response: Modular narrative components, tangible interaction, bilingual guidance and a recurring school–home–return journey.

See the design reasoning: field observations → requirements → component studies → journey & scenarios.

02 · SERVICE / AR · INSTITUTIONAL PROPOSAL

Museum AR visitor experience

An independently initiated visitor-service proposal supported and approved in internal museum meetings; not deployed.

Designed a visitor journey and frontstage/backstage blueprint for possible use across Iranian museums, starting with Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art. The proposal was discussed and supported in repeated internal meetings, but did not advance to implementation or funding.

Chevrolet Suburban RV

Led a five-person design team from a hidden customer need to workshop-ready decisions.

After interviewing the vehicle owner directly, I identified an overlooked use case: hosting friends during group outdoor trips. I led ergonomic studies, space and mechanism decisions, and communication between the design team and the fabricating workshop; the workshop built the vehicle.

Follow the evidence: client context → alternative concepts → decision matrix → built interior.

04 · BA RESEARCH + PRODUCT DESIGN · 2020

Sarr

The first documented camper research and design undertaking in Iran, from fieldwork to product form.

My 92-page Bachelor’s thesis combined interviews, field observation, local travel environments, Iranian anthropometry and iterative design. Sarr is the product concept born from that same research, later referenced by other work according to my account.

Follow the same project across two records: field research → criteria → concept alternatives → documented revisions.

05 · PRODUCT + PLATFORM PROPOSITION · 2020–2021

Podbox

A self-initiated portable recording concept, linking hardware and platform needs.

The concept combines emerging creators’ practical barriers, interaction requirements, form development and a value proposition for a podcast ecosystem.

DESIGN EDUCATION / CURRICULUM + DELIVERY

Making design teachable.

I designed an English-medium, four-year-group Design & Technology progression before teaching began, refining it through classroom feedback across two school years. Grounded in the Cambridge IGCSE approach, it connects technical foundations, packaging redesign, group luminaire design and independent product-and-portfolio development. Every selected teaching resource was prepared or directed by me and used with students; visual materials were often produced with AI assistance under my editorial supervision.

CURRICULUM ARCHITECTURE / FOUR YEAR GROUPS

DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY TEACHING · ROME · 2024–2026

From technical fundamentals to independent product thinking.

Curriculum architecture: four linked year groups, researched and redesigned in summer 2024 and refined after teaching feedback.

Learning experiences: fundamentals → individual packaging redesign → collaborative lamp design → independent product and portfolio.

Delivery and assessment: English-medium lessons, original briefs and visual resources, lesson-by-lesson assessment and examination preparation through June 2026.

The evidence archive contains examples used in teaching, as reported by the instructor. AI tools assisted the visual presentation of instructor-authored or curated material; they are not presented as the authors of the educational programme. English and Geography teaching are documented separately.

PRACTICE / RESEARCH + MAKING + TEACHING

A background that connects disciplines.

Research, physical products, service systems and teaching are different design settings; the thread is a decision made legible through evidence, alternatives and implementation constraints.

Not one medium. A consistent way of investigating.

An early self-developed design framework organised problems, users, criteria, ideation and evaluation. Later MSc work widened the lens to multiple actors, service touchpoints and continuity between environments.

I have also designed and delivered English-medium Design & Technology programmes across four school year groups, developing briefs, technical explanations and evaluation materials. That is practice in making design knowledge actionable, not only presenting a finished object.

DESIGN IN USE / A PROJECT WITHIN THE EXPERIENCE

The CV is also a designed interface.

When evidence is scattered across academic research, professional projects, build records and teaching resources, a conventional CV cannot carry every artefact. The real design task was to make a concise professional narrative and a precise route to each supporting item—without making either dependent on the other.

This page is the working interface. Switch language and theme, then follow a specific CV claim to its original source. Test the live evidence path ↗

Need

Make a diverse body of work rapidly understandable and independently inspectable.

Design decision

Separate a readable CV, concise case narratives and deep links to primary-source material.

Delivery

A working responsive interface with real project images, URL anchors and printable CV output.

Iteration

Source corrections, mobile navigation, print layout, evidence states and repeated critical review.

PROJECT DOCUMENTATION / IMPLEMENTED INTERACTION DESIGN

From an overloaded CV to an evidence navigation system.

The real constraints evolved in use: research sources arrived in incompatible formats; generated illustrations had to give way to original pages; a long archive needed precise deep links; screen and A4 layouts behaved differently; and language and theme controls introduced responsive and contrast failures. Each failure prompted a design decision that could be checked against an actual interface state.

The design test: can a recruiter start from a claim and find its supporting artefact without learning the archive first?

Access & information architecture

Fast reading and deep verification are different tasks. The CV stays scannable; detailed project reasoning and sources have persistent anchors, so neither reading mode consumes the other.

Decisions across screen states

For evidence, an image preview opens the full original. On mobile, navigation must collapse without hiding the language selector; the printed CV must retain working URLs without web-only controls.

Implementation, failures & verification

Actual fixes addressed PDF pagination, anchor destinations, broken source labelling, tablet-width overflow and low-contrast dark components. The predecessor was checked on a live Netlify address; this revision is tested locally before replacement.

Implemented interface / actual screens from this revision

Captured from the functioning revision: actual layout states, not imagined pre-implementation wireframes.

Wide-screen reading: the short professional narrative and source-linked projects.

Mobile dark mode: the same content with collapsed navigation, visible preferences and a single reading column.

Deep evidence state: a direct link reaches the museum service blueprint in the original-source archive.

Light / dark themeEnglish / Italian entryProfile dialogMobile layoutCV → exact sourcePrint / screen

Color as context. In light mode, Reddish-Gray frames the identity while Slate anchors the typography; in dark mode, Slate becomes the masthead and Gold Mid acts as a controlled source of visual light. The three brand colors stay fixed while their relationships, contrast and surface roles change. Original project imagery remains unaltered.

Authorship and scope: The professional facts, concept, source selection and critical direction are user-led. Technical implementation, translation drafting and QA involved AI assistance. Observed results concern working links, layouts and selected live-browser paths—not hiring outcomes or measured user conversion.

WHY THIS FORMAT

Read briefly. Verify deeply.

For a first review, the short CV and project summaries establish the scope of the work. For a closer review, the relevant sketch, map, design correction or workshop photograph is one link away.

That separation keeps the original records inspectable while allowing a stable evidence library to support future applications. Readers can choose their depth without losing the route back to the claim.
