Hi there!

I'm Parastoo (pronounced "Paris-two"), but my friends call me P2.

As a user experience designer with a background in fine arts, I bring a unique perspective to my work in healthcare, marketing, and advertising. I'm passionate about creating accessible, inclusive designs that make a positive impact on people's lives.

I hold an MFA in Multimedia and Digital Arts from the University of Maryland Baltimore County and a BFA in Photography from the Art University of Tehran.

Currently, I'm an Interaction Designer at Verily (Google Life Sciences), where I use human-centered design to create healthcare and wellness applications.

I am also a professional photographer and my photographs have been published and exhibited nationally and internationally

Other than design, I love traveling, photography, cooking, hiking, going to art galleries or museums and trying new local restaurants and bars.

Fun fact: I have a long list of saved restaurants categorized by cuisines in my google map and have that handy anytime someone is looking for a new spot to have a drink or a special meal.
