About

I am an award-winning multidisciplinary Senior UI/UX Designer based in Istanbul, with over a decade of experience across UI/UX design, branding and visual communication.

At Digital Turbine (formerly AdColony), I lead interaction and creative work for interactive ad units. I design, test and optimize experiences that have driven engagement lifts of up to 4600% and click-through rate improvements of up to 3500% for key campaigns.

Previously, I worked as an Art Director and Senior Graphic Designer at agencies and game companies, delivering branding, UI/UX and campaign visuals that supported marketing goals and consistently improved performance.

My background in graphic design, combined with hands-on experience in 3D, motion, photography and illustration, allows me to move comfortably between conceptual thinking and detailed execution.
