About

Hi there! I am a designer & art director from Istanbul, currently working in the beautiful city of Amsterdam at Ogilvy.

I grew up in the United States of America and Istanbul. I graduated from the graphic arts & design department with honours becoming top of my class, at Marmara University in 2012. I also completed an Erasmus course at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste, Vienna and a lettering course at EiNA, Barcelona.

Working as an art director in some of Istanbul's biggest advertising agencies, my work has been recognised by Cannes Lions, The Golden Drum Awards, Epica Awards, Eurobest, The Loeries, Felis Awards and Crystal Apple Awards.

In addition, I love creating illustrations combining bold typography & bright colours. I have had the chance to exhibit in Barcelona Design Week, Torino Graphic Days, Why Graphic Design Festival Florence, England, Holland & Australia.
