About

Strategic Product Designer with over 5 years of experience specializing in building scalable design systems and complex SaaS products. I leverage a unique multidisciplinary background—Industrial Design (METU) and Sociology—to bridge the gap between complex user psychology and functional digital solutions. Currently, as a Co-founder and Creative Designer at Diğer Ajans, I lead the delivery of strategic cross-platform projects, aligning visual storytelling with business objectives. My previous experience at Ekinoks Software highlights my capability to handle large-scale systems, where I architected a 4-platform ecosystem for smart transit (Ekoşehir) and designed the Auth+ MFA app from the ground up. I also have a proven track record in design mentorship, having coordinated design decisions and quality control for junior team members. I believe design is about creating real value through usability and accessibility (WCAG). Whether it’s optimizing conversion in fintech apps or simplifying enterprise dashboards, my focus remains on evidence-based design through heuristic evaluation and user-centered research. Core Expertise: • Product Design (SaaS, Mobile, B2B) • Scalable Design Systems & Component Libraries • UX Strategy, User Flows & Heuristic Evaluation • Information Architecture & Accessibility (WCAG) • Design Mentorship & Leadership Tools: Figma (Advanced), Adobe Creative Suite, Miro, Zeplin.
