Born Delaram Ariela Rostami, Dela Rostami is a multi-disciplinary designer, technology entrepreneur, and artist. She is a the co-founder and CCO of AWAYN.
At the age of 13, she built her first music website, ramband.com. "Ram Band wasn't a real band. It was me playing different tunes and sample beats on my Windows 98, which I would upload online. Since early on, I believed technology and art are not two separate entities; they complement each other and can create incredible art."
In her late teenage years, Dela moved to London, England, where she exposed herself to a variety of artistic fields. "London is a diverse, colorful, and captivating place. It is both medieval and cutting-edge, simultaneously Victorian and modern. Living there taught me so much about the arts. It was then that I realized how much I love graphic design."
Eventually, Dela moved to the United States, where she studied graphic design at Minnesota State University Moorhead. She later entered a fully-funded Master's program at UC Davis in California to study UX Design.
