HelloI'm a creative thinker who believes that anything is possible as I'm an optimist at heart. I work within web design and development but I also love it. I express my creativity not only within UX/UI but also within sketching and photography
Personal infoI'm a 28 year old self taught software/web developer and graphic designer with more than 10 years experience in this field. I grew up in the digital world and I've had a computer for the past 20 years, since I was 7.
While I mentioned that I'm self taught, I am also studying Software Engineering to get the certificate. I do not know what this piece of paper will do that I can't do already but I enjoy learning ;)
My skills are very diverse and cover many aspects of web and software development, graphic/web design. I'm currently focusing on UI, UX design. I've always been interested in photography and branding! I love what I do.
I've done many jobs in my own company BornisGroup and for many clients all over the world.
All this has given me a very unique insight into my work. I understand what clients/users want and why they need it.

“Behzad has a great depth and range of talent combined with a work ethic that companies all look for. He took the initial LikeOurselves spec, completed it with exceptional work and then did something very rare. He thought through, designed and completed additional work, on his own initiative, on ideas we were only just contemplating for the future. At that point, we had to have him as a team member and it's one of the best decisions we made.”
Parsa Ghaffari, Co-founder, AYLIEN
“Behzad has got eagle eyes when it comes to pixel-perfection, comes up with creative forms for things that haven't existed before, and is a productivity monster.”
I remember the days when i was playing with QBasic on my IBM PS2 M60.
Over the years I've experimented with many programming languages include VB6, VB.net, C#, Java, PHP, ActionScript, Javascript and...
I've developed a lot of software from small apps to large enterprise systems. I'm always ready to experiment with more technologies and programming languages.
I believe Dieter Rams' ten principles to "Good Design" is enough to describe what i try to do while designing
Good Design:
• is innovative
• makes a product useful
• is aesthetic
• makes a product understandable
• is unobtrusive
• is honest
• is long-lasting
• is thorough down to the last detail
• is environmentally friendly
• is as little design as possible
Web design and development has been my main job. I've worked on more than 40 websites from wire-framing & prototyping to mock-ups and developing the final product, giving me a depth of expertise in this field.
I always use the latest web standards in my project.
I hate IE but I have good experience in beating its faults, even IE6.
Designing logos is not my job but I've done logos in my free times because i love do it.

Illustration has always been my passion, I've spent more time on it in the last year and it seems I have a talent for it, which I was not aware of before.
Seeing the world through the viewfinder helps me to see beautiful things that we've forgotten in daily life.
I've done industrial photography. Control of lighting in the studio helps me to do better lighting and shading while I do illustration.
I've been awarded two Honorable Mentions in Architecture and Nature categories from the 2010 and 2011 IPA (International Photography Awards)

The Magic of Pen and Paper !
Sketching, with an actual pen and paper, is the first part of my UI/UX and graphic design process.
There are many more pixels in a piece of white paper to bring ideas to real life rather than a screen. I feel like I'm more creative while sketching.
