  I was born on September 20, 2000, in Yalova, Turkey. I first encountered Photoshop and After Effects around the age of 13. With great enthusiasm, I started learning, and by my early twenties, I had learned many Adobe programs and completed various freelance projects. Among these, I designed brochures and booklets for Yalova University during the 2020-2021 academic year, where I pursued my associate's degree.

​

  Continuing my education for my bachelor's degree at Arel University, my project named 'Simit Çay' became a 2-year course for beginners in 3D design. During this time, I developed an interest in NFTs, created numerous works, and met new artists. I gave talks about NFTs and 3D Art at various places, including Kadir Has University And Hitit University.

​

  Towards the end of 2021, I decided to enter the gaming industry and swiftly transitioned with the knowledge and experiences I had gained. While working as a freelance 3D Generalist at Algebra company for a year, I advanced my own projects and adhered to a rigorous work schedule. After completing the project with Algebra, I started working as a Lead Artist in a different studio. I have been in the position of Team Leader for about 2 years now, and simultaneously, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Game Design at BahçeÅŸehir University.

​

  During this journey, I established communication with Blender, founding the Blender Turkey Discord channel with my team. We strive to provide free support to everyone. We have helped potential friends find job opportunities and connected employers with many of our friends. Collaborating with some friends, we launched a venture named Celestia Studio, focusing on creating game-ready low-poly assets. I have also mentored at various places such as TOGO and Gamefactory Scale up. Currently, my daily routine involves working more, learning more, and sharing more.
