Shirin Amin

Early life

Shirin’s early years involved an extensive global education in the Middle East, Europe, and North America. 

At the University of Tehran, she mastered principles of symmetry, structural balance, and architectural history. She continued her European studies at the École d’Architecture de Versailles in France before completing her architectural education at the Southern California Institute of Architecture. Her design training in America added creative freedom, abstract form development, and organic architectural theory to her classical background.

Parallel to her academic pursuits, Shirin spent six years in private fine art training under the renowned artist Mr. Nami, studying sketching, painting, and sculpture, a discipline that influenced her open-minded view of spatial design and aesthetics.

Career

Shirin Amin has spent 20 years working as an interior designer, and in 2005 she launched her interior design practice, Shirina Design, which she ran for over 10 years while prioritizing functional, practical design choices that harmonized with clients’ lifestyles. As a general manager and project director, her expertise covers the entire life cycle of high-end real estate ventures. Instead of limiting her work to design aesthetics, she leads developments comprehensively from start to finish. She manages land acquisition, structural planning, municipal permitting, contractor relations, and executive decision-making. 

In her development work, Shirin has contributed to luxury residential projects valued in the tens of millions of dollars. One notable project milestone involved design and project management work that reached a $44 million sale. Her technical background helps her connect creative architectural concepts with functional, high-value execution, ensuring every design line serves a clear structural and financial purpose.

Outside of luxury residential real estate, Shirin’s professional record includes varied investment leadership and specialized infrastructure projects. She has led expansion initiatives and site evaluations, applying project management standards to various projects. Her technical curiosity also led her to engage directly in hands-on sustainable housing projects. She completed weekend work on low-cost earthbag structures developed alongside architect Nader Khalili, an experience that deepened her appreciation for disaster-relief architecture and human-centered design. Combined with ongoing investment management and financial assets, her career shows a balanced mix of practical development leadership and entrepreneurial vision.
