Available to hire
I am Gülin Erdal, a graphic designer and visual storyteller currently based between Istanbul and Milan. I’m completing my BA in Graphic Design and Art Direction at NABA in Milan, graduating in 2025, and I’ve built a diverse portfolio across branding, packaging, posters, and digital visuals. In addition to my formal studies, I’ve taken on internships and school projects that strengthened my craft and collaborative skills.
I’m passionate about creating clear, compelling visuals that communicate ideas and connect with audiences. I enjoy exploring mixed media, typography, illustration, and motion graphics, and I’m always eager to contribute to creative teams that push boundaries.
