Hamid Salari

Hamid Salari is a visionary entrepreneur and designer. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from Arizona State University, laying the groundwork for his precision and ingenuity. However, he veered from his expected career path and instead charted a unique course to success. From funding academic pursuits to unprecedented success Hamid Salari began buying and selling cars to support his education. From navigating market fluctuations to establishing a foothold among competitors, the environment challenged the novice entrepreneur. The demand for clever negotiation skills and a knack for customer service also added complexity to an already demanding industry. Despite the competition and pressure, Salari remained undiscouraged. His persistence paid off, as years of hard work eventually catapulted the business to success, turning it into an enterprise with an annual revenue of $60 million. A sense of dissatisfaction While financially successful, Salari felt unfulfilled and drawn to a different calling. As someone who loves the outdoors, he often expressed how nature brought him peace, contrasting the mechanical and artificial nature of cars. He also had a passion for creative pursuits, making his involvement in the car business feel even more misaligned with his true self. This love for nature, artistry, and innate entrepreneurial spirit led Salari down a different path from his aerospace engineering and car business background: creative design. A wake-up call to elevate outdoor living Fuelled by a desire to design and sculpt art from raw materials, Salari transitioned into custom outdoor furniture design. His portfolio speaks volumes: from bespoke cabins built with his hands to trailblazing concepts that earned him accolades such as “Most Improved Building in Scottsdale” and “Best Outdoor Design.” Furthermore, his work has graced the pages of lifestyle magazines, demonstrating that design is more than a profession to him—an expression of artistry, craftsmanship, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Continuing his true passion while spreading goodwill Today, he actively participates in public speaking engagements, sharing insights from his entrepreneurial journey and promotes his company’s design philosophies. He also dedicates himself to philanthropic endeavors, focusing on supporting underprivileged children. He aims to impart the value of giving back to his children, cultivating a legacy of compassion and generosity.
