Available to hire
I am Derya Sahin, a double major graduate in Cinema and Visual Communication Design from Istanbul Bilgi University. I have built a strong background in cinema, visual design, and interactive media, with hands-on experience in game design, graphics, combat mechanics, character creation, and narrative development.
I enjoy turning ideas into engaging experiences across platforms. I’m proficient with Photoshop, Figma, and Audacity, and I actively test and refine game mechanics to deliver compelling gameplay. I’m a collaborative creator who thrives in multidisciplinary teams and loves exploring stories through design.
