I build designs that help people spend less time clicking and more time living
I've consumed enough and now it's time to create.

Came close to finishing this project in just 3 versions.

I used to need 4 or 5 rounds just to get it right.
Now, working in clear version steps helps me see what changed, how fast I’m improving, and where feedback is heading.

Stay organized.
Create patterns.
See the progress.

The best compliment from a client?
“It’s so easy to use.”

That’s what I aim for every time.

I never design just for looks.

Every pixel I touch has a reason.
Every choice supports a goal.

Otherwise, it’s decoration.

Adding a free branding touch for your first few clients isn’t ‘working for free.’

It’s building long-term trust.

AI might not be there yet, but at least we can see where it’s heading.

For designers, it’s not about the tool. It’s about understanding design logic and being able to explain it.

That’s why I’m spending all my extra time learning how to communicate my design decisions better.

Hope everyone is safe after the earthquake in Istanbul.

A reminder of how fragile things really are.
Take care of yourselves and your loved ones.

If you can’t quit your 9–5, ask yourself this:
How many years have you been working?
If you quit tomorrow, how many people would notice you’re gone the next day?

If the answer doesn’t feel right, maybe it’s time for a change.

I’ve been working on my portfolio site lately.
Trying to keep it simple, real, and a bit fun.

Not fully done yet, but I wanted to share a little peek with you.
Curious to hear what you think so far...

Are you a perfectionist?
Then this one’s for you.

“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.”

This line changed the way I think about perfectionism and starting anything. 👇

We keep it simple, clear, and effective.

Here’s what we’ll offer:
🔹 Design
🔹 Marketing

Curvix isn’t fully live yet, but if you’re curious or want to chat, my DMs are open 👋

Good design helps the user without making them think too much.

If you’re just making things pretty, you’re following trends.

Think for yourself.
Solve the problem in your way.
It’ll be hard at the beginning.
Trust the process.

Can’t find your first client?
Go old school. Trade it.

My first project was for a friend. In return, he helped me with my residence card and company registration.

No money changed hands, but it moved everything forward.
Invest in yourself and your business first.

I’ve been quietly building my own brand behind the scenes after I quit my 9-5.

Design, marketing, and photography.
All under one roof.

The Curvix is almost ready.
Launching 🔜

8 months ago, I quit my 9 to 5 job to do my own thing.

Since then, I’ve been working with clients and figuring things out as I go.

Now the business is growing, and I’ll start sharing real stuff I’ve learned from each project. What worked, what didn’t, and the lessons in between.

Branding is not what most people think.

It’s not just a logo. It’s a symbol, not the brand itself.
It’s not just colors. They create recognition, not identity.
It’s not just a product. It solves a problem, but branding builds loyalty.

Branding is the result. The reputation you build over time.

To master anything, you need 10,000 hours. That’s 5 years of full-time work.

Be a specialist first, don’t be a generalist.

Otherwise, it’ll take way longer to become an expert in anything.

No matter how much you charge, always give more value. That’s when you’ll see real progress.

I don’t know why, but Framer gives me that fresh start feeling.

I open my laptop, grab my coffee, and dive into design.

Everything feels modern, smooth, and inspiring.

No other design tool has ever given me the same vibe.
