Hi, I’m an illustrator based between Ireland and Istanbul. Drawing has always been a part of my life, an interest that started in childhood and naturally grew with me.

I studied Art & Design in Istanbul, focusing on illustration, and later completed a Master's in 2D Design in Ireland. But my real introduction to digital illustration came years earlier, during my teenage years, when I was backpacking through Europe. I got my first drawing tablet after selling sketches on the street, that’s when everything started to take shape.

Over time, I’ve worked across different areas like children’s books, editorial illustration, murals and brand visuals.

Working on a variety of projects keeps me motivated. I care about creating illustrations that are clear, purposeful, and adaptable to different needs.
