Culinary Cruise

App DesignMay 2023"Culinary Cruise" is a food and travel app designed for Bodrum, Turkey, offering users a guide to the city's restaurants and food culture. It's an all-around app for travelers and locals exploring Bodrum's culinary scene. You can discover great places to eat and secret spots, and learn about the local cuisine. The app also lets users share their experiences by posting reviews and photos, creating a community. Whether you're a local or a visitor, "Culinary Cruise" makes discovering and sharing food experiences in Bodrum easy and enjoyable. 

In designing "Culinary Cruise," I focused on creating a user-friendly interface that reflects Bodrum's vibrant and inviting atmosphere. The app features a colorful and intuitive design, making navigation seamless for users to quickly find and share culinary experiences.

Nubigon Shorts

Video editingJanuary 2023
This is one of the shorts I created for Nubigon, a successful point cloud visualization and animation startup. I was responsible for creating instructional videos that explained how to create videos using the Nubigon software in a clear and engaging way. I paid close attention to detail and used visually appealing animations to make the information easily accessible to viewers of all levels. These videos showcased Nubigon's innovative solutions and served as valuable resources for users who wanted to learn about point cloud visualization. This project showed my passion for creating meaningful experiences through design as I worked to bridge the gap between complex technology and user understanding.

Avia Assist

App DesignDecember 2023
Avia Assist is a pilot toolbox application I designed for airline pilots - this version is specifically for Turkish Airlines. It has many valuable tools that would be helpful during the flights. I made sure the app was easy to navigate since it would be used during the flight in the cockpit - pilots needed to reach the tools efficiently, which is why I decided to keep the design very simple.

In this project, me and my partner turned Avia Assist into a real application on Xcode and Swift, using the design I previously created on Figma. Our goal was to create a fully working application that is easy to use and has the same clear design aspects that the prototype had. It was a great experience seeing my design turn into an actual application for pilots to use.

Logo and package design for Saratoga Olive Oil Co.December 2022
For my rebranding practice, I chose Saratoga Olive Oil Co, a local business, to create a new logo and packaging design for them. I wanted to create a simple logo design that was sophisticated, refined, and rustic, reflecting the nature of their products. I created a custom pattern for the packaging and real-life examples of how the new logo would be shown on other packaging and accessories.

I have been traveling since a very young age, and I had to travel back and forth between Turkey and the States during college, which makes the airport a special place for me that carries a lot of emotions.
