A name is a noteworthy accessory.

I have an atypical name for an American, a slightly unusual name for a Californian, and a very normal name for a Persian. Yasamine. YAAS-suh-MEEN. It’s like Jasmin with a ‘Y’ and a second ‘A’.

It’s the Persian name of the Jasmine flower. It’s almost familiar but still unexpected, which also happens to be the vibe of my work.

I graduated from ArtCenter College of Design with a degree in Creative Direction for Advertising, specializing in Art Direction.
