Mehdi – Bridging Ancient Craft and Modern Engineering
At Yungo, we’re proud to work alongside people who never stop exploring, learning, and building. Mehdi, one of our Medior Engineers, is a perfect example of that spirit. He is someone whose curiosity and passion have led him down some unexpected (and seriously impressive) paths.

Mehdi began his career as a mechanical engineer, working on vibration testing for major industries like power plants, car manufacturers, and cement factories. But things took a turn when he joined the Iranian Cultural Heritage & Tourism Organization. There, he was part of a team restoring historic monuments and mosques, work that combined precision engineering with centuries-old art. Using advanced point cloud scanning, Mehdi helped digitally map these architectural gems, making sure every detail was preserved for the future.
That’s when something clicked.
One day in the library, Mehdi came across a book filled with traditional Iranian geometric designs. He was hooked. He began teaching himself how to draw these intricate patterns, once reserved for mosques, domes, and tilework, reviving ancient forms with modern tools. Soon, he was designing everything from mosque entrances to tile mosaics, building on Persia’s rich visual language.
But his love for craftsmanship goes back even further. As a teenager, he made his own leather shoes. Then a backpack. Then wallets, card holders, even dog collars (yes, a few Yungo pups are sporting Mehdi originals). All self-taught. All handmade. All deeply rooted in his fascination with design, geometry, and the stories those patterns tell.
Mehdi has studied Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Persian design traditions, drawn in by the mathematical complexity and cultural depth, especially in Persian and Japanese art. His favorite patterns often blend geometry with nature - spirals, symmetry, and subtle nods to Islamic design. You can see echoes of this aesthetic in everything from Iran’s ancient mosques to Spain’s Alhambra.
What makes Mehdi such a valuable part of the Yungo team isn’t just his technical ability. It’s the way he brings together art, history, and engineering to solve problems in creative, thoughtful ways. He’s a self-starter, a craftsman, and someone who’s always learning, always pushing forward.
Mehdi’s journey reminds us that creativity doesn’t always come from a straight line. It can come from a book in a library, a childhood hobby, or a piece of leather you decide to turn into something beautiful. It’s this kind of passion and drive that makes Yungo what it is: a place where talented people grow, challenge themselves, and make remarkable things happen.
