Creative UI/UX designer with a strong communication and media background.
What I'm looking for
I am a creative and detail-oriented UI/UX designer with a solid foundation in communication and media production. My passion lies in crafting engaging digital experiences through user research, prototyping, and interaction design. Throughout my academic journey, I have developed several app design projects that focus on emotional design, user flows, and component systems. My background in media and content creation provides me with a unique perspective on storytelling and visual communication.
During my internship at Askipo, I collaborated on mobile app design using Figma, enhancing usability and visual coherence. My experience as a cameraman and editor at Dev Yapım allowed me to lead post-production for various visual content projects, where I managed small production teams and contributed creatively to storytelling. Additionally, my role in video production at Haber Global involved producing and editing content for YouTube channels, further honing my skills in visual communication.
