Hi there! Nice to meet you here :)
I’m Shahrzad NAJMI, a designer, specializing in graphic design, children’s illustration and 2D animation. I do the paintings too with the different technics.
What does it mean Shahrzad?!
Shahrzad was the lady who told the 1001 Nights Stories; I believe also that everyone and every artwork has a story and I’d like to tell them by drawing.
I live in France : Lille, Paris. I know Persian as my native language, French and English. Ooops! I know a little Turkish too :)
