About
Hello! I am a visual+motion designer, researcher and artist currently based in Toronto, ON. I currently work for Marks, a global design agency that works with leading brands in the food and beverage industry, delivering packaging concepts and e-commerce design. Clients include Nestle, Starbucks, DGIC, Bush’s Beans.
I am additionally pursuing a PhD at the Centre for Theory and Criticism at Western University. My research interests are in nothingness, cultural theory, modern and contemporary art, critical and philosophical theory, Soviet Azerbaijani cinema.
The combination of my skills allow me to toggle between various artistic disciplines, while understanding how to effectively connect, relate and communicate with communities. In my cultural and pedagogical practice, I am invigorated by the interactions formed between emerging artists who are interested in critically engaging and revisioning their own artistic practice through history, theory and methodology. I am constantly reflecting and re-constructing in my own practice to better understand the intersection of visual representations and storytelling within its cultural and social context.
