I’m an Istanbul-based illustrator, graphic designer, and researcher who works across oil pastel, digital/new media, and material-based production. My practice is rooted in graphic design and illustration, and I enjoy translating research and transdisciplinary thinking into concrete visual languages—whether through pictograms and museum graphics, book covers, or brand identities.
