About

I am a Dutch-based Turkish 2D animator and storyboard artist with a Bachelor’s degree in Animation from Willem de Kooning Academy. My work focuses on visual storytelling, expressive character performance, and emotionally driven narratives. I have experience in storyboarding, animation, clean-up, colouring, and collaborative short-film productions, and I enjoy bringing scripts and concepts to life through thoughtful composition and movement. Alongside client work, I continue developing personal films and collaborative projects while expanding my experience across different stages of the animation pipeline. I am proficient in Toon Boom Harmony, TVPaint, Adobe After Effects, and the Adobe Creative Suite, and I enjoy working closely with directors and creative teams to realise a shared vision.
