Helping teams buildbetter products onstronger foundations.
I design products used by millions every day. At Delivery Hero I lead interaction design for Cape, the central design system behind our brands across the globe. Before that I shaped Turkcell’s digital experience at IBM iX, and through my independent practice I built gamified campaigns for Samsung, Coca-Cola, Unilever and Anadolu Efes. Lately I spend as much time in Cursor and Claude Code as in Figma, building the AI tools my team uses every day. And my favorite side quest: Tipza.
Always exploring, mostly in Figma and increasingly in code.

I can help you with
- 01
Product & UI craft
Navigation behaviour, responsive components, hierarchy, motion and micro-interactions. The part people actually touch.
- 02
Design systems at scale
Cape: multi-brand, multi-theme, consumer and back office. Tokens, governance and the people side of adoption.
- 03
AI tools for teams
Tools I build for my own workflows and my team’s: Observatory, Claude skills, and Figma plugin suite.
