Hello, I am Ekin, a Turkish graphic designer specializing in information design.
I bring over four years of experience with local/international organizations for effective visual communication on social issues such as women's rights, migration, and displacement by natural/human-made disasters.
I am currently providing communications and information design consultancy to the Food Security and Livelihoods Cluster NW Syria hub coordinating the Turkey-Syria cross-border food aid to more than 2M people on average monthly, contracted with FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) as one of the leading agencies along with WFP (World Food Programme).
After graduating from the Communications & Design department at Bilkent University in Turkey, I received the Fulbright grant in 2016 for my master's for which I designed a card game for open-minded political conversations at the University of Texas at Austin, School of Design and Creative Technologies.
Humanitarian by day for a world that is just for everybody, I create GIFs, draw simple illustrations, and occasionally make videos at night.
