ARAMAN’s unique understanding of both commerce and art enables a modern design thinking mentality. Trained as a painter, he views the screen like a blank canvas – a space of unlimited potential.

His broader skills in business, technology and new innovations allow him to solve problems, share experiences, and build relationships of trust.
