I’m Saman Gholami—a multidisciplinary designer with a passion for storytelling, thoughtful visuals, and user-centered experiences. With a background in illustration, branding, and UI/UX, I bring a versatile design approach that blends creativity with strategy across both print and digital platforms. My work is rooted in clear visual communication, emotional storytelling, and cultural connection. Whether I’m designing a clean, intuitive user interface or illustrating a page in a children’s book, my goal is the same: to create meaningful design that connects people, tells a story, and feels intentional at every touchpoint.
