Head of Architecture and Interface Design – Zeitgeist Group BerlinMiss Germany 2024
When I was 6 years old, my family and I moved from Iran to Germany, where I built my own life. First in Flensburg, then Göttingen, followed by Stuttgart, and finally, I ended up in Berlin, where I now live with my husband and two children.
For almost 20 years now, the subject of “architecture” has been indispensable in my life. I earned my degree in architecture at the University of Stuttgart. From August 2011 to March 2012, I worked as a set designer at the Stuttgart State Opera, designing and realizing stage sets for opera productions. My professional career began in July 2012 at Liganova GmbH in Stuttgart, where I worked as a junior architect and later as an architect until January 2018. There, I was significantly involved in the development and implementation of architectural projects, working closely with my team to find creative design solutions. Today, I am the Head of Architecture and Interface Design at Zeitgeist Group in Berlin, leading a team, and I love my job more every day.
“My mission is to design, plan, and build to create spaces, dreams, and a better, more inclusive society.”
Since February 2024, I have been Miss Germany 2024. Why? Because I am convinced that there is a great need for female role models in traditionally male-dominated professions. I want to use my voice to inspire young girls and help break stereotypes.
