Roya is the Design Director for Alchemy Growth Partners and the High Resolves Intitiative. In her capacity as Design Director, she is responsible for the overall identity and image of the firm including the presentations, printed material and packaging design/identity for our various projects and investments.

Roya has two degrees in architecture from the University of Sydney, has taught design communications and worked in various design fields. Using her experience and training in architecture, as well as post-graduate training in new media at the beginning of the internet revolution, Roya founded Creative Storm in Toronto, Canada in 1995. Creative Storm was a company that specialised in creating compelling interfaces and experiences for new media.

Over her career, Roya has also created numerous corporate and personal identities and logos, and been engaged in various other graphic design projects. Her designs are distinguished by combining her own contemporary calligraphy and use of traditional hand-made papers and other materials in her unique modern style.

Two years ago, she founded royadesign, a service that provides bespoke handcrafted gifts that combine her love of calligraphy, exotic papers and boxes: capturing the deep and true nature of a person in a lasting and memorable way. Her boxes are like small pieces of architecture and also aim to provide a touching and meaningful experience in a carefully crafted art object.
