About

Hi, I’m Volkan. I’m a designer who also writes the code, so when you work with me you get one person who takes your idea from first sketch to launch.

I spent 5+ years in big product teams at Europcar, Decathlon and TotalEnergies. I built e-commerce live in 27+ markets, helped carry a design system through a full rebrand, and shipped data tools that energy teams use every day. These days I work with founders, on anything from a waitlist page to a full product.

Design: UI, UX, brand identity, design systems, prototyping in Figma
Development: Vue / Nuxt, React / Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, GSAP animation, Swift for Mac apps

I take on one project at a time, so you get my full attention, and you’ll see real work from the first week.

Vitrum

Vitrum turns a flat logo into a 3D icon: drop in an SVG, pick glass, metal or colour, export a PNG, a GLB or an STL. It runs entirely in the browser. Free, local, and the files are yours to keep. Problem Brands ship flat marks, but products now want icons with light and depth. Decision Three controls, depth, bevel and material, with presets first, so a good result takes one click. Build TypeScript and Three.js extrude any SVG path in the browser. The relief logos on this portfolio use the same approach.

Rueya

Rueya Supply sells digital goods for the screens people live with: wallpapers, presets and LUTs, guides and bundles, downloaded from a personal library. Identity Monochrome, a printed grain and a tight grotesk wordmark beside the r. Every surface stays neutral so the products carry the colour. Waitlist first Before any product, one page: a line, an email field and a light that moves. It found the first audience and tested the voice. Store Every pack is previewed on the device it is made for, iPhone, iPad, Mac or Studio Display, so choosing a wallpaper is seeing it. Checkout and library Accounts, orders and downloads on Nuxt and Supabase, with in-house invoice and email kits so every receipt carries the brand.
