Self portrait in Montauk
I am a sum of awes.
I am an Iranian American. I was born in Tehran. I live in Brooklyn.
I majored in English literature. I have a J.D. and an LL.M. I’ve passed 3 bar exams.
I practiced law only very briefly.
I wrote and illustrated a short story called The Zig Zag Girl. It may have been somewhat autobiographical! I zigged and zagged a lot until I found the creative path where I belong.
I write. I illustrate. I make collages. I make animated GIFs. I style food. I needlepoint.
I blog about the food and culture of Iran, the country I hail from.
Sometimes passion is eclectic instead of specific, but it all flows from the same stream.
It's all good.
