Howdy!
I’m a designer from Mersin, Turkey
— currently moving pixels in Oakland, CA.
My focus consists of visual design, design systems & product design. I studied Graphic Design at MICA, which means I have strong opinions about kerning, a soft spot for a well-crafted print,
and a weakness for everything 3D
.
In my free time, I like exploring the city with my dog charlie,
going to concerts or picnics with friends, gaming, picking up a new hobby like nail art,
or relaxing in my home and staring at my plants.
