Biography

About

A concise record of where the work began, the environments it has covered and how I approach it.

I am an art director and creative technologist based in Ankara. My work centres on visual communication, moving image and digital products. Web design and development sit within that wider practice.

I started at DPÜ TV while studying visual communication design and stayed for four years. Since then I have worked inside e-commerce, European Union programme communication, footwear and industrial manufacturing, while continuing freelance work and independent projects.

How I work

Working versions answer better

A working prototype settles questions that documents leave open. I build early enough to test the flow, not only the appearance.

State the relationship

In-house roles, freelance work and self-initiated projects carry different responsibilities. Every entry states the context in which it was produced.

Stay through delivery

A file handover does not complete the work. I stay involved through implementation, testing and the revisions that follow.

Outside the work

Piano and guitar came first, followed by electronic production under the name TUNGRA. The rest of my spare time usually goes to computers, tools and figuring out how things work.
