UX/UI Designer in Ankara/Turkey, She/Her

Learn and Live with UX...
I was born in Ankara in '92. I ended my marketing career with the support of my imagination and painting hobby after meeting UX/UI design while looking for how to go to work happy every morning. I am a person who loves to produce, who lives life with questions such as what and why, and who sees criticism as a contribution to her own development.
I worked as a teammate in freelance jobs, but you cannot see the whole in my profile due to privacy.
I hope we work together on projects with visibility.

This project is just a part of the website and I started the design from this page at the request of the customer.

2023
Hagia Sophia Mosque Redesign

In this project, I redesigned the website of Hagia Sophia Mosque Sharif, which has a high historical and cultural value.
Located in the historical peninsula of Istanbul, Hagia Sophia has been used for many different purposes since the Byzantine Empire period. First built as a church, it was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman Empire conquered Istanbul in 1453. In 1935, it was opened to visitors as a museum by the order of Atatürk. In 2020, with the arrangement made in 2020, it started to serve as a mosque again.
The new website, designed in accordance with this historical structure, allows visitors to learn about Hagia Sophia, as well as allowing users to easily access the card for the museum section and contribute to the gallery.
In the new design, I adopted a modern approach, using warm and natural colors in the color palette in accordance with the historical texture of Hagia Sophia, aiming to provide visitors with a comfortable and pleasant experience.
You can view the transitions and the prototype in the video on Behance.

Ego Cepte UX Research at Userspots

"Ego Cepte" is a local transportation app. It is a mobile app where we can instantly follow the time, route, stop information of public transportation vehicles used in Ankara and load balance to our pass card.

In this study, the pain points, motivations and desires of users living in Ankara were analyzed with netnography, benchmark and other UX methods and findings were reached.

Certifications

2022 — 2023

I successfully completed my UX Designer training at Userspots UX school. Through this training, I gained basic skills in UX design and gained knowledge about following current trends in the industry. During the training, I conducted user experience research, created designs for user needs, and did hands-on work on prototyping and testing these designs.
I also developed skills such as UI design, usability testing, data analysis, and problem-solving. I think I can effectively take part in UX design projects with my command of user-centered design principles, project management, and teamwork skills. I strive to continuously improve myself and follow current developments in the industry.

2022 — 2022
UX Design Certification from Istanbul Business Instıtute

"522032737320" I completed my UX Design education at the Istanbul Institute of Business Administration with a certificate number and gained basic skills in this field. During my education, I conducted user experience research, created designs for user needs, and prototyped and tested these designs.
I am also familiar with information architecture and neuromarketing. Information architecture is a method designed to help users find the information they are looking for more easily and quickly, and for me it plays an important role in user experience design. Neomarketing, on the other hand, is a topic that encompasses next-generation marketing techniques and is essential for me to best respond to the needs of users in my design projects.
