Hasti is an Iranian interdisciplinary graphic designer and visual artist currently pursuing their MFA in Graphic Design at Yale University. Their practice lies at the intersection of conceptual storytelling and experimental design, bridging traditional and digital processes to explore time, memory, identity, language, and transformation. Drawing from film, photography, book design, typography, sound, and interactive media, they create poetic and research-driven works that blur the boundaries between art and design. Through both collaborative and independent projects, they seek to build experiences that are emotionally resonant, visually compelling, and critically engaged with the world around us.

From Ashes to Ashes


Farsi / English
2024Book Design

Dimension2.6 x 3.5 inThis book captures the cycle of life, death, and rebirth in the most profound way. During the process of making and test-printing,  they collected scrap papers and test prints, burned them, and used their ashes to design the book. The cover is crafted from handmade paper, created from the very scraps they collected turning waste into art, death into new life. Inspired by Iranian artifacts and the timeless myth of the Simurgh, every detail reflects the circular journey we all take. Sometimes, growth quietly asks us to endure, to let go, and to reshape ourselves through the weight of our experiences.

Ripple of Defiance

Fall 2024

Dimension11.2 x 17 inRipple of Defiance is an anthology that explores the intersections of language, identity, and resistance. Rooted in the act of reclaiming my mother tongue, Gilaki, after years of suppression, the book reflects a personal gesture of survival and defiance. Inspired by Samad Behrangi especially The Little Black Fish, it gives voice to what is silenced and celebrates the courage to seek freedom beyond the boundaries. Through typographic experimentation, color, spaces and layered narratives, the book stands as a visual exploration of resilience and transformation.

Spring 2025 Sky is the same color everywhere

Dimension5x 7 inThis project reflects on the emotional geography of displacement and belonging. Using imagery of the sky alongside reflective paper, it suggests that no matter where we go, the sky remains unchanged, but how we see it is shaped by what we carry inside. A reflective circular paper on the front cover invites viewers to face their own reflection before opening the book.  Prompting a personal entry point into the narrative. The work questions the idea of home, offering a quiet meditation on memory, migration, displacement and inner struggles!
