@arisbalc
I create visual campaigns and interactive advertising experiences across brands, social media, web, and HbbTV.
What I'm looking for
I've designed visual campaigns, web assets, and interactive advertising experiences for brands across agency, corporate, freelance, and interdisciplinary work.
At TVekstra, Turkey's leading addressable TV advertising company, I created everything from routine design assets to interactive games and surveys. My work earned two marketing awards and four nominations across two projects.
Previously, I led web and marketing design adaptations for LC Waikiki at FCDesignStudio across Europe and MENA, while supporting the CIS region and designing across different languages and scripts.
I've also created website banners, social posts, and YouTube thumbnails for BluTV, Idefix, Subway, and Coca-Cola at McCann Istanbul. I keep exploring new techniques, Generative AI tools, and compelling ways to tell visual stories.
