ABOUT ME
I’m Jay and I’m in the design industry for over 8 years of experience. I immigrated with my wife from Iran to Toronto, Canada in 2022 to study abroad at Humber College and to learn more about specializing in marketing, advertising, UI, web design and print principles, and make a solid foundation in Advertising and Graphic Design at Humber College and I graduated in August 2024.
Design is my passion and I have excelled in providing UI recommendations, crafting engaging social media content, and designing impactful billboards, flyers and signages. My proficiency spans Figma, Adobe CC, videography, and photography, seamlessly extending into print, signage, ad design principles and also Apple softwares (OS & Services) troubleshooting. My commitment to perpetual growth fuels my dedication to crafting visually compelling designs across diverse platforms.
