Born in the city of Tehran, Iran, Ardalan grew up surrounded by the rich heritage of Persian architecture and was inspired by his father's work as an architect. Ardalan began his own architectural journey at Yazd Architectural University in Iran, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree and a master of Urban Planning.
His passion for architecture led him to the Bay Area in 2016, where he immersed himself in both architectural and construction roles. In 2020, Ardalan joined the S-Squared team. In addition to his academic and professional achievements, Ardalan has pursued continuous growth and development in his career. He has obtained multiple ICC certificates and earned his California general contractor license, all while working towards his architecture license.
Ardalan believes architecture shapes our daily lives—and that embracing innovation can enhance humanity’s well-being and convenience. Outside of work, he finds comfort and inspiration in creative pursuits such as painting and playing guitar, as well as exploring new features in different architectural software.
