Hi, I am Veli.

Education

As an artist, my journey has been a colorful tapestry woven with diverse experiences and a passion for creativity. It all started back in high school in Turkey, where I first fell in love with Art & Design.

From there, I delved deeper into the world of design, pursuing studies in Industrial Design and Engineering, seeking to understand the marriage of beauty and functionality. Along the way, I seized the opportunity to broaden my perspective through an exchange program in Poland, soaking in new inspirations and cultural nuances.

Italy beckoned next, with a captivating design internship in Modena, where I was surrounded by centuries of artistic tradition and modern innovation. These experiences ignited my curiosity even further, leading me to embark on courses in Drawing, Graphic Design, and Art Directing, each adding new dimensions to my creative toolbox.

Through it all, my journey has been guided by a simple belief: that art has the power to connect, inspire, and transform. And with every stroke of the brush or click of the mouse, I strive to infuse that belief into everything I create.

Awards

Winning the ceramic design award from XONE Ceramic Turkey and the Exhibition Award from IMMIB under the plastic tools category were pivotal moments in my career. These recognitions not only celebrated my creativity but also instilled a newfound sense of confidence in my abilities as a product designer. They serve as constant reminders to trust my instincts, push boundaries, and continue to innovate in the world of design.
