I’m the founder and creative director of Jivan Publishing, a publishing house and creative platform focused on childhood, based in Vienna. We create books, magazines, and digital media for Iranian children and families in the diaspora. Each of our publications includes parent guides to help families nurture bonding and love in their new hometown while also supporting children in preserving their culture and mother tongue.

I’m a parent coach with a background in illustration, design, and early childhood education. Over the years, I’ve combined creative storytelling with alternative educational approaches to create engaging, high-quality content for children.

My top 3 goals for community building

Supporting parents in raising multilingual and multicultural children.Creating meaningful media that bridges Iranian culture with global experiences.Building networks with educators, parents, and creators who share a passion for cultural diversity.

Community building is not only about offering resources—it’s about listening deeply, creating trust, and allowing members to shape the journey together. For families living in the diaspora, far from their motherland, this sense of community is essential for moving forward and feeling connected.
