About Origami Artist-Afsheen Zoheb

Hi! I'm Afsheen, a self-trained, ardent origamist and I love everything artsy and creative. I have a crafty space which I like to call ‘origami designer studio', where I turn my passion for origami into a colourful and creative reality. I first fell in love with the Japanese art of folding, when my friend Sami introduced me to the craft by showing me how to make an origami flower. In a few simple steps, a modest square of paper had transformed into a beautiful piece of art; and that was enough to have me hooked!

I founded Origami Designer Studio, to share my love and passion for origami, with children & adults alike; and help them channel their creativity into expression and productive effort. With years of dedication, hard work and sheer eagerness to teach, I have successfully conducted tons of origami workshops across many different locations. I also offered many workshops that were free-of-cost for children with special needs, & I plan to continue with them, for the immense joy it gave me to work with some of the most outstanding children that I had the lucky opportunity to instruct.
