Matin
“Hi, my name is Matin. I am 34 years old. I was born in Afghanistan but raised in Iran. Around age 15, I started to learn about tailoring and soon developed a passion for it. After I finished school, I began working as a tailor, improving my skills and techniques such as cutting, designing, and learning how to work with different materials, fabrics, and machines. To put it simply, I love and enjoy spending my time working as a tailor because it keeps me motivated, creative, and challenged. When I started working at ANKAA, I knew instantly that it was the kind of place that fosters community. Not only are the people great, but the environment is even better. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, watching movies, and chatting with friends.”
