About me!

Hello! I’m Işılay, a passionate 2nd-year Graphic Design student at Bilkent University. I specialize in using tools like Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Procreate, CapCut, Wix, and Canva to bring creative ideas to life. During my internship at Viral House, an influencer marketing agency, I had the opportunity to edit professional advertisement videos for Akbank and editing/creating new websites, sharpening my skills in visual storytelling and branding. I’m constantly exploring new design trends and techniques, aiming to create impactful and innovative work. Feel free to explore my portfolio and connect with me for potential collaborations or to learn more about my work!
