Brief Resume
Like most of designers, I started drawing when i was children. Then I find myself in Graphic Design Department in college. I hated it and started to fulltime work life. I hated it that too and I started to freelance work life. I worked as freelancer for 4-5 years.
Now I’m working for a design studio in Istanbul as art director. And also continue to working as freelance designer, illustrator.
These days I’m planning to move in London or Oslo. I’m not sure right now.
Projects
Lot of website designs, some illustrations for magazines (all over the world), 2 software package design, interactive demo design for a major bank in Turkey. That’s all I guess…

Inspiration
I don’t know, everything can be inspiration source for me. Nature, web sites, books, other designers, comics, magazines, TV, music, Istanbul, human race…
