Hello there!
I am an Istanbul based contemporary artist with over three decades of experience on UI / UX, illustration and designing digital products.
I am an Istanbul based contemporary artist with over three decades of experience on UI / UX, illustration and designing digital products.
Artist by formation, designer by practice I have formed and captained many design teams in my career. With a hand constantly drawing since childhood and mindset understanding the notions of product, quality and service, I best operate in fast-paced environments run by enthusiastic doers.
I have a Masters degree on painting titled "The influences of comic books on contemporary art." - 1999
Above everything I most cherish being the father of Ayse, my daughter and teaching Graphic Design in Mimar Sinan Academy of Fine Arts to the newcomers of the design industry.
