Founder of Heymers Academy and Moodi Studio, Mersedeh Heydari shares her entrepreneurial journey as an underrepresented founder merging architecture, fashion, and game design to create immersive creative experiences. She discusses the resilience required to navigate cultural and systemic barriers in Iran, and the importance of representation for emerging creative talent. She emphasizes that there is no perfect world, and that thriving under Iran’s strict social and cultural standards has not only tested her perseverance but also ignited her creativity, shaping the bold, boundary-pushing vision that defines her work today.
Building Creativity & Opportunity in Fashion- we learn how:
• Turning cultural and governmental barriers into opportunities – how to innovate in a country like Iran.
• Fashion meets game design – using interactive storytelling to express identity and culture.
• Students as collaborators – integrating education and industry to nurture emerging talent.
• Shaping our identities and businesses in tandem- informing creative decision-making through lived experience
