Meet the DEAL Community

Malmö, Skåne, Sweden

I am an Iranian architect, Artist, and Urban researcher. I obtained my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture from the renowned Azad University of Iran. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work on diverse projects and collaborate with various companies, gaining invaluable experience in the fields of architecture and design. Beyond my architectural endeavours, I possess a deep passion for art. Recognizing the power of artistic expression, I have organized several art exhibitions to showcase my concerns and reflections on society, nature, and the future. Through my creative endeavours, I seek to provoke contemplation and engage viewers in meaningful dialogue. Driven by my curiosity and interest in understanding people and society, I embarked on a journey of continuous learning. I pursuing a degree in Urban Studies at Malmö University, where I expanded my knowledge and insights into the intricate dynamics between cities and their inhabitants. This academic pursuit reflects my commitment to exploring urbanity and its impact on society, further enriching his professional capabilities and enabling him to contribute meaningfully to the field. I started my career with When When company based in Malmö and now When! When! has been chosen to build a new school in Tomelilla, Sweden, fully based on the principles of Doughnut Economics. The project will work with regenerative and holistic perspectives, philosophy, and new economic systems and examine broader local and global needs that extend beyond the school building.

Rotterdam/ Hong Kong

An architect based in Hong Kong. Currently in Rotterdam to complete a six-month work experience, which is part of the undertaking for the DFA Young Design Talent Award. Keen to explore what I call "conscious design" practice, which is about designing with a participatory approach and with all stakeholders in mind, including humans, the ecology, the planet, etc. I think this aligns with the doughnut economic principles, so am keen to explore how this could be applied in the built industry, particularly from a designer's perspective.

For over 20 years I've worked in social justice, sustainability and systems change. I've worked across sectors and markets including working in India to help set up a social investment fund focused on sustainable livelihoods and mentoring organisation that enable regenerative economies.  Recently, I was part of the Catalyst 2030 Secretariat supporting the creation of transformative systems change, facilitating collaborations and later leading the internal operationalisation of the decentralised global network as COO. I founded my company, Deep & Meaningful nearly a decade ago which focuses on regeneration and supporting the movements and organisations that make that happen. DEAL is crucial to regenerative economic thinking and sharing, learning and collaborating with this community is really exciting.

I'm a postgraduate student studying Accounting and Finance. I was impressed to read Doughnut Economics and want to understand it deeper so that I could possibly write my dissertation linking Doughnut Economics to a perspective of accounting. In the future, I would like to work in a field which helps transformation of companies or any organisations to realise co-existence of human and nature.
