Meet our founder, designer, and owner

Meet Yasaman Gheidi, the creative mind behind Blackwood Castle!

Growing up in the Middle East, she was always drawing pictures of dramatic dresses and had a natural calling for everything fashion. Today, she channels her love for dark, moody settings and everything gothic into her brand.

Passionate about treating others with kindness and social responsibility, she ensures that Blackwood Castle is not only ethically made but also entirely vegan. You can read more about the brand's certifications on the manufacturing page of our website.

When she’s not designing, you’ll find her enjoying puzzles, reading nerdy fantasy books, and learning the piano. Yasaman lives with her partner and fur children in a black house and looks forward to starting an animal sanctuary one day.
