Hi, I'm Direnç!

A platform-agnostic designer with a broad range of skills and over 15 years of experience in brand, product design, and creative direction.


I helped global agencies, major brands, and small startups while bringing ideas and products to life with the same passion.


I love working among multidisciplinary teams, as well as establishing strong client relationships and making new technology human, meaningful and coherent.

I worked with Direnç during the design phase of a new Savills project in 2021. Direnç was a dream to work with – his ideas were excellent and original, and his designs were clean and professionally delivered. He worked tremendously quickly, to tight deadlines, and somehow always seemed relaxed! I would not hesitate to work with Direnç again – he’d be an asset to any team.

Sr Business Analyst at Savills

I had the pleasure of working with Direnç while he was at Inviqa. He is calm, collected and knows his stuff when it comes to experience design. Great affable personality too! He has a real passion for his job and gives you lots of well thought thorough ideas and options to choose from. I always looked forward to seeing what Direnç had turned our briefs into at the end of their retainer day with us.
