What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role that values creativity and innovation, where I can contribute to meaningful projects and continue to grow in a collaborative environment.

I'm a passionate UI/UX designer based in Istanbul, where I merge my background in coding with a keen eye for design. My journey began with programming in React Native and TypeScript, but I quickly realized that the true challenge lies in understanding user needs. This realization led me to focus on UI/UX, where I now utilize tools like Figma and Adobe to create intuitive web and mobile experiences, particularly in e-commerce and complex AI applications.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and optimized various e-commerce websites, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to enhance user experiences. My role at Elysee Playgrounds allowed me to improve production efficiency by 15% while ensuring that our designs met user experience and safety standards. I thrive on solving real human problems and strive to create scalable solutions that make a meaningful impact.
