Still curious.
Mohammad EtemadiToroghi on paper.
Nikan Wystaf everywhere else.
I’m a graphic designer based in Mashhad, Iran, with a background in graphic design and print media. My work connects visual thinking with the practical details of making things.
I’m interested in what happens when design meets technology: interaction, computational design, and new ways to create images. There’s always another page to explore.
