Hey there, I'm Sanem, a design enthusiast with a journey that spans 4+ years working for agencies and as a freelancer. During this time, I have honed my skills in design principles, user experience, and creative direction. I'm proficient in design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite and Figma, and have a basic understanding of front-end development languages like HTML and CSS.
I've been passionate about design since I was young and have pursued it by working on various projects for different clients. I've had the opportunity to collaborate with startups and businesses, creating user interfaces for websites, software applications, and mobile apps.
As a designer, my main focus is on creating user-friendly interfaces. I also work alongside a team of copywriters, designers, and project managers. I believe in keeping the user at the center of the design, and I work closely with clients to understand their users' needs, conduct research, and develop wireframes and prototypes to ensure the final design meets both user and business goals.
Outside of work, I love painting, making music, and further pursuing my creative side 🎨. Apart from that, I enjoy spending my time hiking in the backcountry and going off on wild adventures.

Creative Direction
Creating a strong brand direction involves understanding the brand's essence, target audience, and intended message. This requires careful research and analysis, including looking into the brand's history, values, and cultural context. This information helps build a solid brand identity.
Digital Design
With a proven history of crafting websites and apps, I consistently produce robust and user-centric digital designs. Effective corporate branding forms the cornerstone of every thriving website.
Development
I create websites that are both scalable and beginner-friendly, whether building from scratch or collaborating with developers. My foundation in basic HTML and CSS, along with the use of user-friendly tools like Elementor or Webflow, allows me to craft accessible websites with ease.
