Profile

I am a Turkish-American illustrator living in New York with my wife, two children, and two cats. My concept-driven illustrations combine traditional gouache and pastels with contemporary digital elements featuring a variety of textures. I would love to work on editorial and branding projects. My 15+ years of experience in advertising/branding Art Direction helps me see and understand clients' needs and expectations. I’m an active member of the Association of Illustrators and Society of Illustrators, NY. I'm also an avid art enthusiast, runner, aspiring guitar player, and a great cook!
