About Me
Hello,
I was born in Ankara in 1994 and grew up in a vibrant and creative environment—a child of artist parents who owned a Kid’s Publishing House in Türkiye. From an early age, I found inspiration in my mother’s storytelling and my father’s illustrations, which ignited my artistic passion. Motivated to cultivate my creative skills further, I pursued higher education in Visual Communication Design. Upon completing my studies, I eagerly joined my family’s publishing business, for its expansion and connecting with a broader audience.
Driven by curiosity, I ventured into advertising in Prague, working as an Art Director for five years. Although I enjoyed crafting visual narratives, I felt a yearning for something more. This led me to discover my passion for game development. Creating two mobile games from scratch, I found myself in the world of game design, exploring new avenues for artistic expression. Later on, this experience helped me to work in DDB FTW Worldwide, the biggest esports and gaming network agency as Senior Art director for 2 years.
Most recently, I’ve started working as a freelance Art Director for LEGO (G.A.M.E. at The LEGO Group’s OLA)—an exciting opportunity that blends my passion for play, design, and storytelling in exciting new ways.
