…but that is not where it all began. I was born in Turkey, grew up in Greece, studied in New York, and worked there for over a decade until the summer of 2024. I'm highly adaptable to new environments and curious about people's stories.
I am a formally trained designer, holding a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Parsons the New School for Design. I like grids, glitches, LEGO, beer, and making music.
I currently live in Baltimore, MD with my wife, two kids, and a mischievous cat named Cheddar.
I have worked in-house, at agencies, embedded within product teams, and independently.
I have a grasp of technology and development that allows me to work particularly well with tech brands and product teams.
I'm an extrovert who is truly energized by in-person meetings, client calls, and pitch presentations. I have worked with teams of all sizes — I shine in small, collaborative ones.
I value structure and process with just the right amount of flexibility.
I place great importance on concepting and visual metaphors, striving to ensure that all tactical design decisions tie back to a concept and a set of values.
I've had the fortune of doing work that I love with people who inspire me.
