## Meet Idin Hashemi: Comedy, Competition, and Commercial Design
We're excited to introduce **Idin Hashemi**, the newest member of our Tangram family! Joining us as an Inside Sales Representative, Idin brings a unique blend of commercial design experience and creative energy that makes him a perfect fit for our team.
### From Account Management to Inside Sales
Idin comes to us from Pivot Interiors, where he honed his skills as an Account Manager. His transition to inside sales represents an exciting opportunity to apply his industry knowledge in a new capacity, working directly with clients to understand their commercial design needs and connect them with the right solutions.
### Beyond the Design World
What sets Idin apart? When he's not focused on commercial interiors, you'll find him on stage pursuing his passion for **stand-up comedy and improv**. This creative outlet not only showcases his personality but also speaks to skills that translate beautifully to client relationships—timing, reading the room, and thinking on your feet.
And if you're ever looking for a karaoke partner, Idin's go-to choice is "Shallow" by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. As he puts it, "It's the type of song that just brings everyone together"—a philosophy that extends to how he approaches teamwork.
### Getting to Know Idin: Quick Takes
**Hometown:** Fremont, CA
**Island essentials:** A water purifier, his iPad (for rewatching Breaking Bad, naturally), and a boat for the eventual trip home
**Most adventurous meal:** Alligator
**Dream party theme:** An 80s celebration with Robin Williams as the guest of honor
### What Excites Him About Tangram
When asked about his new role, Idin emphasized his eagerness to **understand our team culture** and build relationships with colleagues. "I hope to bring my competitive spirit and experience to an already winning organization—and just keep the train moving," he shared.
This approach reflects what we value most at Tangram: professionals who understand that success in commercial design isn't just about individual expertise, but about how well you collaborate and contribute to the collective effort.
### Looking Ahead
Idin's combination of industry experience, competitive drive, and creative thinking makes him an excellent addition to our inside sales team. His background in account management gives him valuable insight into client needs, while his performance experience suggests he'll excel at building rapport and communicating effectively.
We're looking forward to seeing how Idin's unique perspective enhances our ability to serve commercial design professionals and help bring their visions to life.
**Welcome to Tangram, Idin!** We're excited to have you on board.
