I am a 31 years old multidisciplinary designer/director. I have been in the creative field since 2003, worked with various agencies, architects and clients like Allianz, Avon, Efes Pilsener, Fiat, Garanti Bank, Jeep, Koç Holding, Logitech, Mc Donald’s, Philips, Samsung, TAV Airports, Turkcell, Türkiye İş Bankası, Unilever, Vodafone, Volkswagen.

Studied Photography and Video in Istanbul Bilgi University with a full scholarship. I have involved and gained experience in various parts of the field. Produced creative work in different disciplines from print design to branding, 2d/3d graphics to motion graphics, UI to UX to IxD, photography to video production.

For the last 5 years I have been involved much with microcontrollers, electronics and physical production/machining to conduct work in physical user interaction design. (Arduino, sensors, motors, leds, leap motion, kinect, vr, iot etc.)

Co-founded and now creative director of Büyük Ayı, a design and creative production studio developing web connected objects, installations and interactivity blended with moving images across major digital channels since 2008. Irregularly, I give workshops on creative technology to students, agencies and brands while maintaining consultancy and creative work on freelance basis as well.

As a designer, I am highly motivated with technology in manner of tangible tech and software based. I have worked with developers closely for building web based experiences and creative applications. So in most cases within various projects I am a key person who understands the dynamics of the industry, parameters of the target audience and the type of work that needs to be executed; from print to online, digital to physical, shooting to post-production/motion graphics, electronics and such..
