Nooshin started to experience the world of art around when she was a kid and began to paint professionally at the age of 14, completely self-taught and instinctively. She grew up with a passion for art and received her master’s degree in Visual Communication from The University of Tehran, Faculty of Fine Arts in 2014 (ranked the top university in Iran). Eager to be a lecturer, she started to teach in 2014 for the next six years in different higher educational institutions.

Nooshin joined the Digital Media and Design MFA program at the University of Connecticut as a graduate student in 2022 and currently, she is a graduate assistant at UConn. She is a visual artist specialized in motion design, graphic design and offset printing. Design has become her profession and passion. She also has many experiences in different arts such as illustration and handicrafts. Nooshin wishes to connect to other people through her art. A principle that helps her in creating artwork, is trusting her inner instinct toward beauty. Every time that she creates a new artwork, a new window to the world opens.
