Evidence for the future. Stories for the consequences.
Farabi works across emerging technology, medical research, public-purpose strategy and speculative fiction.
His practice connects disciplined inquiry with creative production: understanding how technologies develop, how institutions use them and how their consequences might reshape human life.

Creative campaigns
Small teams. Global delivery.
Farabi has delivered agile creative campaigns and managed a global team of freelancers to produce small- to mid-scale work. He previously shared the role of CMO in a matrix delivery model to create impactful projects.
Creative / media asset production
Ten voices. Four countries.
The creation of his book trailer remains one of Farabi’s most rewarding creative accomplishments. More than ten voice actors and writers across four countries collaborated on the production, with Farabi involved in writing, directing and post-production.
During the early stages of COVID-19, Farabi led the AI-powered CO-App DHS research, combining computational intelligence with secure, consent-led data-sharing. The peer-reviewed platform paper was published in Frontiers in Blockchain; the original portfolio records subsequent citations by BMJ and IEEE publications.
At Plexal, Farabi participated in policy development and worked alongside Andrew Roughan’s team. He also contributed to Innovate Oman, a collaboration involving the Anglo-Omani Society, Imperial College Business School and the governments of Oman and the UK.
