Strategic mentoring beyond design
Basketball coach, at Kiefholz club, Berlin
APR 2025 - AUG 2026
15 years of competitive basketball, plus my current volunteer role coaching in Berlin, shape how I approach product strategy. Coaching a mixed gender adult team means structured planning, real time decisions, and turning strategy into coordinated action, the same skills I bring to product design. This past season, we competed in the EBL league 2026 Berlin.
Leadership journey
At 18, I ranked 23rd out of 300,000+ applicants in Iran's national university entrance exam. That drive carried into leadership: for 8 years I led a team of 20 teachers at one of Iran's premier institutes, guiding 100+ students annually across math, art history, and geometry. It built the foundation for how I lead cross-functional design work today, with structure, accountability, and people-first thinking.
