That early exposure I mentioned turned curiosity into a bit of an obsession, really. Drawing, crafting and making things just became second nature long before it ever turned into a career.
​
Over the years I’ve worked on a pretty wide mix of projects for different brands. That includes product packaging, marketing materials, key visuals, internal comms, promo products and plenty of other print and production bits. I’m always looking for ways to make things run a bit smoother too, whether that’s building reusable templates for campaigns or automating parts of the design workflow. It saves time, keeps things efficient, and leaves more room for the creative side of things.
​
I’m also a bit obsessed with keeping things organised. Whether it’s tracking work projects, things I’ve bought for the house, or even the films and TV shows I’ve watched, I like having everything in order. It spills into my work as well. Staying organised helps me keep projects moving and makes collaboration a lot easier.
​
I’m always trying to learn something new and keep up with the latest tools and trends in design.
I reckon the best ideas usually come from staying curious and experimenting a bit. At the end of the day, I think design should feel fun, engaging, and easy for people to connect with. That’s the aim I try to bring into every project I work on.

Focusing primarily on adapting requested projects while also creating design assets from scratch when needed. My role involves delivering accurate, high quality artwork across a wide range of print and digital materials, ensuring brand consistency and production readiness at every stage.
I mainly support the Haleon account, working across multiple global brands including Sensodyne, Cordosyl (Parodontax), Polident (Corega), Centrum, Voltarol, Otrivine, Panadol, Advil, Fenistil, BeeChams (Theranatur), and Theraflu. My responsibilities include creating packshots and artworks, as well as supporting both internal and external communication assets, catalogues, and a variety of other marketing and design materials.
In addition to my core account, I also assist other global accounts when required, collaborating closely with international teams to ensure deadlines are met and quality standards are maintained.
Creative Designer
Pazarama
Feb 2022 - Jun 2025
I created a request tracking sheet to manage design briefs from multiple departments including Category, Brand, and HR, helping streamline workflows across teams.
I contributed to the Banner Automation Project alongside the UI and UX team, automating over 12,000 banners within a year, and later independently developed automation templates for landing page sub banners, producing assets for more than 10 campaigns.
I also designed a wide range of printed materials such as pole banners, bus stop posters, giantboards, event and exhibition stands, supporting materials, and office decorations, as well as preparing in house print files for internal use. Alongside this, I designed internal communication assets including mailers and letterheads, created main and sub campaign visuals with adaptations for major campaigns such as Super November, Super 11, Valentine’s Day, and the Pazarama Plus launch, designed logos for sub branding initiatives, and developed templates for always on campaigns, bank promotions, and coupon offers.
Art Director
TAB Ajans
Sep 2021 - Feb 2022
I designed packaging and box layouts for SeyidoÄŸlu, covering products such as jams, halva, tahini molasses, and hazelnut cream, many of which are still in use today.
​
I also worked on packaging, stand designs, and the website for Sera’s pumpkin seeds project, which was later paused due to the ongoing effects of Covid, and designed corporate identity elements for the DentaLumos brand. Throughout these projects, I maintained direct communication with clients and printing houses to ensure smooth and efficient execution.
Graphic Design Intern
Vakko

I created external window graphics and in store decorative posters for Vakkorama, designed baby chocolate boxes for Vakko Chocolate, and worked on menu updates for Vakko Café. During this time, I also learned how to work confidently with the Pantone colour catalogue, gaining a strong understanding of colour accuracy for print production.
Volunteer
Head of Design
Emi Organizasyon & Emi Kolektif
Dec 2025 - Present
(Project based, non-profit)
At Emi Organizasyon, I contribute on a voluntary basis, supporting the team with their creative and communication needs. As a close-knit initiative founded by friends and family, the collaboration feels both personal and purpose-driven.
I handle the design and development of their website, create LinkedIn content to strengthen their digital presence, and prepare presentations for partnerships and project pitches outside of my full-time working hours, mostly in the evenings or on weekends. I usually plan content in advance and build reusable templates to ensure consistency and efficiency over time.
My focus is on establishing a strong and cohesive visual identity, shaping clear and confident messaging, and making sure every touchpoint reflects their artistic vision and professionalism.
