Hi, I’m Aref.


I’m an industrial designer interested in what happens when different disciplines overlap. I’ve worked across furniture, consumer products, accessories, packaging, visualization, branding, and digital experiences, moving between physical and digital design constantly.


I enjoy building ideas from the ground up—whether that’s developing a product, shaping how it’s presented, or thinking about the system that surrounds it. I’m fascinated by how people interact with objects, technology, and the spaces around them, and I believe the best design comes from considering all of those things together.


My work is driven by curiosity, iteration, and the belief that thoughtful design can make even the most complex ideas feel effortless.
