Farah Hakemi born in Tehran attended Tehran university and obtained BA in archaeology. She also gained a work experience in the pre-Islamic department in national museum of Tehran during 10 years as well as involvement in Treasury of museum.

Following is a brief career biography from Farah's own words:

"This work familiars me with the treasure of the museum which was not exhibited to the public. Subsequently my last position at the museum was inspector of historical monument all over Iran. in 1997 during Asian Olympic I became one of the deputies to the Mayer of the Olympic village for Asian games. I had to look after the needs of ten countries. This involved encountering with many athletes of different origins and outlook. Then I was appointed for set upping "Reza Abbasi" museum for almost two years in "Queen Farah" office.

After revolution the entire family moved to UK, next I began to get involved in arts business and work with few museums and collections which were most dealing with Islamic art.

In 2007 I joined "Bonham’s Auction House" as a consultant of modern and contemporary Iranian art. Part of my success was record breaking auction in March 2008, which achieved the record of one million dollar sale for Iranian artist Farhad Moshiri for (Eshgh) love works of art.

Recently I work as an advisor and buyer to provide contemporary calligraphy collection for newly established museum of Malaysia."
