Hi!
about
I’m a self-motivated individual, an original thinker who creates projects from the ground up and translates them into compelling experiences by developing ideas, making research, providing quality art and creative direction. I build for brands that inform, entertain and inspire with 13+ years of experience.
Currently, I'm building a product design and development studio; 1984 Design Corp. As a product designer, and with a small team of designers and developers, we are working with brands, startups, and entrepreneurs to build visionary digital experiences, from concept to scale.
As a side-project, I'm also making Remote Jobs Center, curating UX resources and publishing the Design Newsletter and Design Resources Center.
You can find me on LinkedIn, my work on Behance, Vimeo, Dribbble, various interests on my Tumblr Blog.

skills
As a passionate designer, I fled from a traditional path and explored my creativity, through trying my hands on various disciplines, techniques and softwares. Software is more than just a tool, and I try to dig deep into it. Today, I knack for original thinking and empathy to create viable strategies and impactful solutions, using modern technologies for businesses.

education
I studied Finance & Economics for 4 years, dropout at final year and started working independently with opening my first studio. I think one should never stop learning and go through a process of acquiring knowledge.
experience
I'm building a product design and development studio; working with brands, startups, and entrepreneurs to build visionary digital experiences, from concept to scale. Our approach is very simple: we define the problem and design the best possible solution. We join our forces with our client’s team, by providing user centered analysis, research, strategy and user experience (UX) design services, to match their products and services with their users’ needs. Sometimes size doesn't matter, we’ve worked for big and small alike. Brands that were struggling with recognition, and market leaders. There’s love for them all. We build products close to our hearts, and put everything we’ve got into them, so the final products we deliver speak for themselves. We lead, we advise, or we just build the thing, it depends on you and the role you want us to take in your project.
Started with photography, now over 13 years of professional life as a visual designer; I conceive creative concepts, create frameworks, guide original thinking to streamline the ideation process and visualize complex concepts, translate them into functional formats. I use various graphic and motion approaches to make complex ideas more tangible for brands.
In this small yet expanding agency, I had the opportunity to work with great brands like Koç Group and Bilkom. Being the lead designer in the company I have often dealt with the whole process of designing for our clients, making video productions, creating employer branding campaigns, marketing communications and materials for various touchpoints, while guiding a small team of designers, building an internal modern working system with digital tools.
Being in a very well structured startup, with clear and defined work procedures, helped me grow both personally and professionally, as well as enjoying a young and international working environment. I had the opportunity to redefine the way I edit videos more intelligently, worked closely with Production Lead to edit great online shows for millennials, such as Mars Reel Chronicles.
We created Darwin to provide visual design, digital marketing, and consulting services for brands, and as an expense-cover operation for our startup with the mobile app we were developing in parallel. I designed and managed projects from e-commerce to branding, created online-offline media strategies, PPC advertising campaigns, and key visual assets.
This is a very important part of my path, where I learned the true side of the business and product development. With each day and new struggle, I tried to find new ways of overcoming the obstacles, both financially and creatively. The application we developed made the editor's choice in App Store, featured by the Apple PR Manager, used over 10.000 users with love while we were in the phase of seed investment.
Print services operation, where I created over 1000+ products with modern elements, including photographs, illustrations, manipulations in various categories. On the side with product creation, I developed the e-commerce website from frontend to backend and created marketing strategies, visual designs for offline-online promotions.
I was on Europe tour with artist Deniz Kurtel for her light installation project; The Introspectacular. This was a great experience in the music & entertainment industry, working with people on high creative levels, design thinking and seeing the world of business from a different perspective. Deniz was a true mentor and a strongly intelligent businesswoman. I created the trailer's print materials, designed posters and developed websites from Berlin to Paris, Milano and Torino.

Perhaps the biggest tragedy of our lives is that freedom is possible, yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns.. We may want to love other people without holding back, to feel authentic, to breathe in the beauty around us, to dance and sing. Yet each day we listen to inner voices that keep our life small..
