Hey Designers, Oykun here =)
If we haven't met before and you are wondering who I am, here is a brief background;
I began my career as a full-stack developer and designer in the 90s. Eventually, I chose to fully focus on design.
Over the past 20 years, I've engaged in freelancing, contracting, and running my own agency. In the last 5 years, I've been tackling challenges at a top Tier 1 Investment Bank as a Senior Vice President of Design, Manager, and Creative Lead for multiple business lines including AI & Data Solutions encompassing over 100 applications, generating multiple billions of dollars annually, and earning me millions of dollars along the way.
I worked in any environment you can imagine, as a Designer. I've mentored designers at all levels, from juniors to seniors.
Now, I'm taking a leap to expand my circle and contribute to more designers' journeys with this community.
Btw, I believe there is more to Design than pixels on a screen!
I’ve worked with many influential brands and been featured by respected press;
