Biography
I'm Erfan, a designer and mentor, helping early ventures thrive through strategic brands and products.
With over 16 years in tech, I’ve worked with industry leaders like Adobe, YouTube, and Behance, as well as emerging startups and scale-ups. With expertise across industries and growth stages, I specialize in guiding teams, and building brands & products that go beyond aesthetics.
As a self-taught professional who has lived in eight countries, I’ve learned to embrace uncertainty and turn challenges into opportunities.
My approach blends design, business, and psychology to create thoughtful, user-centric experiences. In 2024, I surpassed 280 mentoring sessions, helping designers elevate their leadership skills and advance their careers.
