Freelance digital design director and artist — Istanbul-born, London-based — with 12 years of experience in London, Amsterdam, Berlin and Istanbul
I am a conceptual digital design director and art director specialising in products, interfaces and design systems. For the past 12 years, I’ve worked with top agencies and leading global brands in London, Amsterdam, and Berlin. With an in-depth understanding of brands and technology, I work end-to-end with multidisciplinary and cross-functional teams, transforming concepts into experiences. As a creative leader within the digital industry, I help establish a shared language between designers and developers. I’ve taught no-code generative design workshops at the Pratt Institute and Central Saint Martins, the principles of which I’ve implemented into my art practice. I ran a mother-daughter stationery brand for a decade that now is an online archive of artist books, the Creative Minds Project.
