Biography

Hello,

I am. I am an art director, illustrator and instructor. I graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Painting and the Institute of Fine Arts, Department of Painting (MA).

I have been working on art and art education for many years. After I started working with children, my admiration for children's books increased and then I started working on illustration. I think children's books are a great door opening to the world of children. That's why I am inspired by my students in my drawings. Their imagination and the relationship between them fascinate me. I like to use mostly digital and sometimes traditional techniques in my works. I illustrate books for all age groups. Including comics.

I founded Platform XOX Art Consultancy Office in 2021. I continue both my academic studies and my art education here. I also continue my work as a freelance illustrator here. I also work as the Art Director at Ayna Culture, Art and Literature Magazine. I am also a Board Member of the Dyslexia Learning Disability Association. I conduct workshops and scientific studies on social cognitive behavior change with children with dyslexia.

I would be happy to work with you.

Thank you in advance for your interest.

Interests and hobbies

I love watching documentaries and Marvel movies, going to art exhibitions and the theater, attending places and events where I can be in touch with nature, and most importantly, I love cats.

How I'd describe my personality in two sentences

I see art and nature as my life. I am grateful for that.

How I'd describe my approach to my work

Because I love doing this job, it seems more like a lifestyle to me than a job. I focus on doing my best and improving my weak points.

The product that will emerge should be the most efficient product possible with effective communication and teamwork. I think that proper planning and mutual communication contribute greatly to this.

I am always open to new ideas and new experiments.

Why should you choose me for your project

You should choose me for your project because you can work with me peacefully, comfortably, efficiently, effectively, open to innovations, and open to communication. As a result, you will celebrate the best completion of your project.
