Summary
I was born in Iran. Was fortunate to travel the world and meet with all kinds of people, races, origins, traditions and customs. I picked up languages and speak Farsi, English, French, and am familiar with Spanish, Italian, and Armenian.
All things inspire to create art, fashion and music. Nature, architecture, antiquities, folklore, moods, feelings, etc. to make original contemporary trends.
I wish to be able to work and promote interesting fashion, accessories, and jewelry design that sell.
I also do general office, data entry, correspondence, filing work.
I am ready to work hard and learn to accommodate projects.
