In 2012, I graduated from Izmir University of Economics-Department of Visual Communication Design with full scholarship and as the top student of the department. Thanks to courses such as applied workshops, we had the chance to visit many advertising agencies and production companies in Istanbul. In this way, the process of finding a job after graduation by establishing a business network became much more efficient. I started working as a field assistant and brand manager at Pozitif Music with the Rock'n Coke festival in 2011. I continued to work here as a freelance until 2015. As of 2012, I started to work as an art director in international advertising agencies (such as 4129Grey, Güzel Sanatlar Saatchi & Saatchi). I was promoted to Senior Art Director in a short time in the advertising industry, which I started as Junior Art Director. I have won awards such as Kristal Elma, Felis, MIXX Awards, GMK and Effie with my works as the Art Director of brands such as Pegasus Airlines, ETI, and Coca-Cola. In August 2017, I was named as one of the most creative under the age of 30 creatives (“30 under 30”) in the industry by Mediacat. I worked as a brand consultant, concept designer and field assistant, in addition to being an art director. In 2017, I completed my master's degree while I was working. As of 2018, I have been providing freelance senior art director, motion design, and brand consultancy services in the sector. In addition to working with individual clients, I also work in agencies for 1-3 month periods. I am currently working at RM (Advertising Center) as Creative Group Leader. In addition, since 2018, I have been working as a Part-time lecturer at Graphics Design Program at the Vocational School of Izmir University of Economics, and at the Visual Communication Design / Advertising and Public Relations departments of Yaşar University. The biggest advantage in reaching my target in my career in a short time was being able to study in the program I wanted. The fact that the training/projects given in the courses are linked to the sectors provided great support in this, in particular. For example, the “Hadi O Zaman” campaign by Pegasus, which was awarded the Crystal Kristal Elma / Felis in 2017, was a mix of the projects I took in studio classes. But of course, the most important thing is to set the right goals and work with the right people with whom you can achieve them.
