NICE TO MEET YOU.
Hey there, I'm Hakan, a Google Certified UX Designer with a unique twist—I used to navigate the high seas as a Deck Officer, steering VLCC Tankers in the maritime world.
I thrive on projects that demand a blend of vision, problem-solving finesse, and a keen eye for aesthetic finesse. What sets me apart is my belief in close collaboration with partners and stakeholders throughout the design journey—it's the secret sauce for creating exceptional products.
Design problem-solving in the digital realm is my jam. I love tackling challenges and coming up with innovative solutions. Having worked with diverse multinational companies, I've honed not just my design skills but also a knack for adapting seamlessly to different cultures and business landscapes. Being culturally attuned, detail-oriented, and sensitive has been key to my success.
Teamwork fuels my passion—I'm equally at home as a collaborative team player or leading the charge. I've honed my ability to evaluate options and craft effective solutions. Plus, I'm confident and articulate with top-notch public speaking skills.
My expertise spans the entire User Experience Design process—from understanding users' needs, identifying pain points, brainstorming design ideas, crafting wireframes and prototypes, to rigorously testing designs for valuable feedback.
Beyond design, I wield a solid grasp of MS Office tools, rocking written reports, Excel wizardry, and impactful PowerPoint presentations. I'm also well-versed in SQL, SEO, and various Digital Marketing platforms like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, YouTube Ads, and LinkedIn Ads.
When I'm not immersed in design, I'm a voracious reader, especially drawn to articles about science, technology, and the mysteries of space. Learning something new every day is my jam!
