Fifteen years of product design grounded in systems thinking and engineering logic
I treat design and engineering as a single, symbiotic discipline. My practice uses engineering logic, constraints, and system architecture as the core language of design.
As digital products grow in technical complexity and system density, the gap between vision and execution becomes a critical business risk. I close that gap by applying deep technical expertise to design experiences that are not only innovative, but structurally sound.
I partner with ambitious teams to solve advanced design problems, shipping complex products through first-principles thinking, modular systems, and high-velocity iteration.
He is one of those rare resources I rely on across many different types of projects, industries, and outputs. As Global Head of Experience Design, I see a wide spectrum of talent, but Gorkem stands out with extraordinary craft, range, and presence. Beyond his mastery of UX/UI, 3D, animation, and design systems, Gorkem frames problems through the most critical lenses for a product designer; business, service, and user needs.
Gorkem truly brings together sharp thinking, craft, and heart. His approach to UI/UX is thoughtful and strategic. Always asking the right questions, pushing the brief, and making sure every decision is rooted in real user experience. He’s a strong problem solver, deeply passionate about his work, and consistently delivers to a high standard. Reliable, hardworking, and always striving for better, any team would be lucky to have him.
Vetting technology against purpose. I stay ahead of the curve to evaluate how emerging tech serves a long-term vision, rather than a trend. I help leadership cut through the noise to decide not just how to build, but whether a specific technology is the right strategic move for the product’s future.
Design and engineering are a concurrent workflow, not a relay race. I build integrated systems rather than static artefacts. I focus on creating systematic workflows where design decisions are made with a command of the underlying engineering logic. By speaking the language of developers, I ensure seamless design-to-code integration.
A product's success is defined by its environment, market dynamics, user psychology, and business rationale. Having delivered products across diverse industries and regions, I leverage this breadth of experience to validate strategy, challenge assumptions, and ensure designs are fit for their specific market reality.
