Masoud Gharehbaghi was born in Zanjan, Iran. Even though he majored in surveying engineering, he knew deep down that art was his true passion. So, he decided to study graphic design and illustration at Tehran University. After graduating in 2016, Masoud started working as a graphic designer and illustrator. His journey as a picture book creator began by accident, when a project he was working on got canceled by a publisher. Masoud wrote a story based on one of the pictures he made and created a picture book in the process. He's been writing and illustrating stories ever since, sharing his colorful dreams with kids around the world.
