​After graduating, I started working as a Product Manager for one of Turkey’s biggest fashion brands, responsible for baby girl clothing in 13 countries in Europe. I worked on more than 20 special collections that I specifically designed. This job taught me to balance cost and design quality and to think from both the customer’s and the producer’s perspectives. I conducted several user research studies, including A/B testing, feedback collection, questionnaires, and quantitative analyses. I worked with designers, buyers, planners, and customers, experiencing the whole design process from idea to production. I learned Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Blender after work hours as a hobby. I also took online courses to learn basic HTML, Python, SQL, and Unity.

​

I quit my job and attended a 4-month UI design course at one of the most prestigious academies in Turkey. During this course, I learned all the fundamentals, including design thinking, user psychology, UX principles, typography, wireframing and prototyping. I also became proficient in using Figma. Throughout the course, I designed a website opening page, an e-commerce product page, an e-commerce mobile application, and a redesign of a Turkish tourism company’s mobile application. To further enhance my skills, I took online courses on UX principles from Udemy, Coursera, and Youtube. I learned about shape, color, balance, contrast, rhythm, and dominance. After finishing the course, I continued designing several more mobile and web pages. To improve my knowledge, I have also read "Refactoring UI”, "The Design of Everyday Things" and "Universal Principles of UI."

​

I created my own playable 2D platformer game called "Taco-run". I designed four unique backgrounds for each level, several assets, and a total of seven characters.

​

I joined Aim Games Studio as a 3D Artist to participate a game jam organized by Cim Games. I created 3D home furniture, kitchen appliances, and various decorative assets for a building escape game developed in Unity.

​

I designed a mobile application for Nanelimon.ai, featuring both dark mode and light mode options. Additionally, I created a mascot for the project.
