FS: Could you please tell us about your experience as a designer, artist, architect or creator?
N: I have been an independent jewelry designer since 2010, specializing in luxury and fine jewelry from fashion to high end one of a kind jewelry. I have experience in working as a Jewelry designer, and consulting designer for brands and private line owners in Iran and overseas.
FS: How did you become a designer?
N: My love for art and artistic occupation has always been with me. I have started painting from the early ages and I have had thirteen group exhibitions in my resume when I got 17. Later, I studied Industrial design and thereafter I started jewelry design, then my passion grow enough for jewelry that I chose it as my professional career and this decision has made moments of my life filled with joy, creativity and art till now.
FS: What are your priorities, technique and style when designing?
N: Whether I am commissioned for a design with predefined specifications or inspired by a concept, I do lots of sketching by hand or using 2d and 3d software either for ideation or developing the concept. Once a design is developed enough and all aesthetical and technical aspects of it are solved at the first phase, I prepare my model for fabrication. Sometimes it is needed to make a prototype to test the model before fabrication, and most of times virtual prototypes are enough. On the final piece any necessary finishes are applied and then I am done.
FS: What particular aspects of your background shaped you as a designer?
N: I suppose the practice of painting from childhood was so influential in preparing me to become a jewelry designer. Beside studying art and design, this practical experience has helped me to develop a keen eye for details, choice of color and appealing aesthetic.
FS: What are your advices to designers who are at the beginning of their career?
N: Knowing the Art and Design principles and element, being very precise about the details, having in-depth knowledge of area of design they are active in, and finally being very diligent and perceptive.
FS: How do you keep up with latest design trends? To what extent do design trends matter?
N: Trend matters highly in jewelry industry. Therefore I try to consider it while designing a new piece or a collection but in a controlled way. In studying newest trends I usually refer to influential jewelry industry magazines and their analysis, international fashion and jewelry shows and works of great designers and brands.
FS: How do you know if a product or project is well designed? How do you define good design?
N: I think in jewelry design, aesthetic is of high importance either in the first impression a design causes or deeper lasting emotions it provokes. I mainly describe a product “well-designed” when besides satisfying the design requirements and principles, it makes the users feel connected.
FS: Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to interview you.
