Who we are
We believe design is more than a profession or a passion. It is a fundamental part of how we experience life.
Design shapes the objects we use, the spaces we inhabit, and the way we interact with the world around us. In return, these experiences shape who we become.
D’HOT is a collective of designers, creative minds, and thinkers who share a curiosity about this relationship. We bring people, ideas, and perspectives together to explore, celebrate, and contribute to the culture of design.
The people behind D’HOT
Baktash Dalili
Creative & Art Director
I’m a Creative Director with a background in Graphic Design and Contemporary Art History, and I’ve always been fascinated by the way art and visual storytelling shape how we see the world. My work brings together creativity, curiosity, and a passion for thoughtful design.
Outside of my professional world, photography is my creative escape, allowing me to capture moments from a different perspective. I appreciate the simple pleasures in life, especially a good cup of coffee and quiet moments with our cat.
Solmaz Hoomanzadeh
CEO / PR
I’m a designer and influencer who has always believed that design is about more than aesthetics. For me, it’s about telling stories, creating emotions, and bringing people together through meaningful experiences. My passion for art, culture, and creativity naturally extends beyond my professional work and into everyday life. I love hosting friends and family, creating beautiful tablescapes, and turning simple gatherings into memorable moments through thoughtful details, good food, and great conversations.
Farinaz Taheri
Legal Advisor
I’m a Paralegal, Immigration Consultant, and entrepreneur who has always believed that creativity and business have more in common than people think. While my professional world revolves around law, I’ve always been drawn to art, design, and the people who bring creative ideas to life. My involvement with D’HOT allows me to bring my legal and business experience into a completely different world, helping the team navigate legal and business challenges. I love being part of a space where different perspectives come together and creativity has room to grow.
