About Me

Brand Designer & freelance musician in Paris

Originally from Istanbul, I developed a passion for creativity as a child. After studying graphic design and visual communication at the Beaux-Arts, I pursued a Master Bac+5 at the Beaux-Arts de Metz, from which I graduated in 2016.

Since 2010, I've been working as a freelance designer, which allows me to develop my own vision and collaborate with a wide range of customers, in France and abroad.

At the same time, I'm a singer-songwriter in the group Rain Speaks, another way of exploring creation and refining my artistic sensibility.

My vision of design

I see design as the combination of a human-centered strategy and a demanding artistic vision, to give meaning, clarity and a strong visual impact to brand communication. I work with brands to create strong, lasting visual identities that effectively communicate their offer, express a unique vision and leave a lasting impression.

Every element counts: logo, graphic design, print media, digital communication, and they all have to work together as a complete visual system.

  • Digital brand kits (social network templates, presentations, banners).
  • Art direction for campaigns and complete art direction (print, digital, events).

Art and innovation

I use the latest technologies - 3D, artificial intelligence, interactive prototyping and front-end development - to push back the boundaries of traditional design and create modern, dynamic and evolving visual experiences. This openness to innovation naturally dialogues with my musical practice as a singer-songwriter in the band Rain Speaks, which feeds my creative sensibility and influences my approach to design, integrating rhythm, narrative and emotion.
