Born in Golcuk in 1972. Piri Reis Primary School (near the navy) was my firs escapade. It's very hard to forget the years passed with my (the very first) teacher Gulsen Yildirim's superintendence:) . Ofcourse I accept that i was a hyperactive and rompy student. It wont wrong if i say "the five years passed by drawing in the corner of my books". I was lucky that my attendence to Anatolian High School become real with the perseverance of my teacher and the motivation of my parents.
I graduated from Kocaeli Anatolian High School in 1991 with the same success story. It was very near being a doctor untill a friend of mine changed my mind (show me the truth). This was the start of my profession as a graphic designer in Anatolian University, Faculty of Fine Arts. I was shaped like a stone by a lot of valuable professors but i must confess that i can't remunerate Prof. Tevfik Fikret Ucar for helping me to see far away in the horizon.
I received my master's degree from Anadolu University, Faculty of Communication Sciences, in Eskisehir, Turkey in 2000, with the thesis "Effective Advertising on Internet as a New Media" I shared what i learned in Anatolian, Baskent and Hacettepe Universities and gave lectures on Digital Media, Interface Design and Basic Design.
I work as a creative director in ICON Perception Management Co. Inc. which was founded in 2000. I mostly designed and directed digital media projects. I am planning to get advanced on "MMORPG" and "Augmented Reality" which has been more than an avocation since my childhood.

The people who are born and grown near the sea has a feeling of longing which grows day by day when they are away from it.
I live in Ankara (the Capital of Turkey) since 2000 and iam very away from the sea. Sometimes i hear the crows toot like seagulls in here, really...
As you understand, i am waiting to moving to Istanbul next summer... and the longing ends!
