Professional Summary
Art director with a motion design background and seven years in Istanbul agencies. Since 2024, I have art directed for local and global brands across 7+ markets, such as Kaspersky and Therabody. The regional visual system I built for Kaspersky was adopted by its global team. I work across brand identity, campaign systems, typography and motion design, and when a workflow slows me down I design a fix. CompResizer, my After Effects extension, now sold on aescripts, Adobe Exchange, Gumroad and Contra. Open to international relocation and remote work.
