A sucker for a "good joke" since the day he started talking, he has amassed an enormous library of jokes, and humorous insights both in Farsi as well as English.

Amin's architectural practice is focused around high-end specialty retail and commercial work. His client list includes names such as Giorgio Armani (No Joke), Valentino (I swear), Dolce & Gabbana (That's right), United Colors of Benetton (Italians like us) and Morgan Paris (So do some French). His work has been featured in design and fashion trade publications around the world. His passions in life also include soccer, cheap Mexican food, German beer and "feeling the urgency" to watch his diet.
