DL: Please tell us a little memoir, a funny thing you had experienced as a designer?

GS : When I decided to become a designer, I started designing without teacher and professional training before I began designing courses. I secretly opened a page on the Instagram and shared my designs there. I just wanted to know the opinions of others without knowing me. the people followed me after a while, they gave positive feedback on each post. They even sent me beautiful messages in my direct, they sometimes sent me their own work and they consulted with me about design and wanted guidance. In the way that I was still the first! Instagram was a positive energy spot for me. He gave me confidence and showed me the fact that I can. This achievement is very valuable to me.

DL: What makes your day great as a designer, how do you motivate yourself?

GS : I always review my dreams and warn myself that this is what I want. I check my Instagram. These motivate me.

DL: When you were a little child, was it obvious that you would become a great designer?

GS : When I was a child, I saw myself in a lot of jobs. When I was high school I thought of having a fabrics factory, I chose the name for myself and designed a logo. But the clothing design was sudden. I imagined almost everything in mind, so it helped my imagination. I wanted to be an architecture because the university I could accept was not free, and on the other hand, the architecture was expensive, so I read the IT at another university . Later, when I was dissatisfied of my field, I decided to change my way. I thought of two options, floriculture and dress design. Because of the lack of copyright laws and the support of clothing designers in Iran, I did not want to be a designer, although I was very interested in it. That time, Tv shown a serial about a Japanese designer. her life inspired me and I chose my way. I am very happy with this decision.

DL: What do you think about future; what do you see will happen in thousand years from now?

GS : In my opinion, a thousand years later, the meaning and concept of clothes and all its standards will change completely. It's like comparing the clothing of the first human beings using the leaves and tools of nature, and now there is something called the fabric. Perhaps thousands of years later, the fabric disappears and humans cover themselves with the apps that the IT scientists design. With the help of a program you can warm your clothes or cool, you can wear a night dress or comfort. At that time, if a designer be an IT engineer too would be great.

DL: Please tell us anything you wish your fans to know about you, your design and anything else?

GS : I want to say that you should never be afraid of choosing and do not stop following your interests. Even if you think there is not much time to start again. First, try to choose clever.It isn't late to start again If you were in wrong pass . Finally, thank you for all your great question
