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.
