With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Design and Visual Communications from Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi and a Master's degree in Graphic Design from Marmara University, I have cultivated a robust career in creative design. Currently, I serve as the Creative Lead at GRIDA, where I specialize in brand identities and digital products, leading a team to design the acclaimed AI-driven platform [VRS]. As a Senior UI&UX Designer at Layout International, I developed design solutions for complex problems, including the widely-used NewsPublish system. At Fabrikod, I enhanced user experiences for clients like Siemens and Supplyframe, leading a team across multiple time zones. My early career as a Visual Designer at Yildiz Technical University involved creating visual materials for prestigious Turkish entities and advocating for student interests. My expertise spans UX-UI, Product Design, Typography, and Branding, delivering outstanding digital products and experiences.
