@erbilylmaz
I build end-to-end brand systems, e-commerce creative, websites and campaigns that support commercial growth.
What I'm looking for
I've built complete brand systems for companies including Maris International, Aureline Home, EKA Sistem, MIRA Yacht Interiors and 1instaphone. My work spans identity, packaging, campaigns, e-commerce creative, websites, video and production.
At Maris International, I built a US-based boat sourcing and advisory brand from zero, including positioning, identity, website, SEO, content and demand-generation campaigns. Meta and Google acquisition delivered 121 qualified leads from $1,240 in spend.
I co-founded Aureline Home and run its Amazon Turkiye sales operation, handling identity, packaging, imagery, listing optimisation and advertising. In 15 months, the brand generated 1,090 orders and 390,000 TL in revenue at a 6.6% conversion rate.
I've also led creative and print production teams of 10+ and operated as an external design department for organisations without in-house teams. I work remotely from Turkiye, use AI tools in my daily workflow, and am used to 24-to-48-hour turnarounds.
