Farokh (Faro) Hejazi, R.A.
Architect, Planner, Urban Designer, Complexity Scientist
President, CEO, CFO, COO
Faro Hejazi is a licensed architect in Washington, DC, a long-range planner, and an urban designer with over 30 years of professional experience. His collaboration with engineers started early. Faro initially learned civil engineering principles from his father and was later self-educated in model-based systems engineering.
In June 2015, after two years of research, Faro completed his master's thesis in City and Regional Planning by developing a Traffic Network Optimization program. His unique model reduces CO2 emissions, maximizes throughput, and offers criteria for designing complex intersections using traffic flow and directionality models.
At Digital, our goal is to work with mayors, governors, and public officials to develop economic development plans that leverage scientific research and innovation in transportation planning to advance engineering practice. Our goal is to simplify urban complexities and eliminate barriers to progress.
Our mission delivers a triple bottom line, providing economic, environmental, and social benefits by decreasing CO2 emissions and improving safety and efficiency at urban, suburban, and regional levels.
