Mahdis Meidani

I'm Mahdis.

I'm a visual designer and a Ph.D. holder in the field of Media and Visual Communication. After studying Fine Arts, Media, and Visual Communication, I have worked as a graphic designer, text artist, and calligrapher and have held individual and group exhibitions in calligraphy, typography, and lettering. I have also taught Persian calligraphy and lettering and published books and various multimodal articles in visual semiotics, social semiotics, and the materiality of fine arts. Now I found myself in the world of UX Design where my talent lies and I can apply my skills, and knowledge for continuous improvement. I believe a creative collaboration between design and technology, is the magic that can fill the usual gap between what we see and what we know!
