i'm a freelance graphic designer and photographer residing in southern california. born to an armenian mother and palestinian father and growing up in saudi arabia, i always felt the need of some sense of belonging and never quite knew what i wanted to do with my life. i was interested in filmmaking but there was nothing that helped foster it or anyone to encourage me t the time. i moved to california for college and while studying graphic design, i participated in various art exhibitions and joined the art student association, that eventually lead to community projects and interest in photography.

i've recently been into documentary photography.
