Proof that you exist

Proof that you exist is my graphic design MFA thesis. This poster synthesizes my five thesis projects into one final, tangible piece. All five projects explore my identity in relation to physical space. I made four episodes of a live action tv series, two books, one workshop, one monologue, and this poster.

بدش چی شد (What happened after)

بدش چی شد (What happened after) is a docufiction live action tv show about the demolition of my family’s home. There are four episodes that are three minutes each. I contend with my feelings about losing the home—the only physical space through which I can access and engage with my Jewish Iranian ancestry.

Me, as grad student

Me, as grad student is a book of selfies I took during my three years as an MFA student at CalArts from 2018 to 2021. The selfies, which were taken almost every day, chronicle my changing relationship to space: from campus to shelter-in-place.

CalArts Graphic Design Visiting Designer Lecture Series Fall 2020/Spring 2021

These are two posters I made with my peers for the CalArts Graphic Design Visiting Designer Lecture Series. I curated and planned the speaker series for two years; Lyle Ostling and I created the lineup for the 2020-2021 academic year. I designed the Fall 2020 poster with MFA1 Makena Janssen. I designed the Spring 2021 poster with MFA1 Makena Janssen and PMFA Katie Hughes.

About

Welcome back to the halls of the CalArts Graphic Design Program, newly digitized and soaked in #0000ff blue. After over a year of physical distance, we wanted to build this website as an attempt to recapture a fragment of the magic that lives in these halls you know (or don’t)… Instead of presenting the End of Year Show as a direct gallery, our dedicated team of digital craftspeople have meticulously redrawn some of the most meaningful areas of the design department and pinned the work of our peers across the halls, studios, and production spaces we remember so dearly. We’re so excited for you to explore this space, and hope to see you all very soon.

With Love, The EOYS 2021 Team
