NO MATTER THE MEDIUM
I was born in 2002, in Istanbul. I graduated from the Willem de Kooning Academy with a degree in Graphic Design, specializing in commercial practices and branding.
Each graphic tee is treated as an art piece and crafted with meticulous artistry. Every t-shirt draws inspiration from one of my paintings. The brand name “Stitch” originates from my very first painting, titled “Stitches.”
PAINTING IS MY WAY OF HOLDING ON TO MY WONDERLAND
My work is personal, with each piece representing an experience, observation, personality, or lesson learned. I express my thoughts, and each piece offers me a fresh perspective. I incorporate texture, movement, videography, music, and layers into my work, showcasing my passion for all aspects of art and design.
My visual language is constantly evolving, reflecting the ever-changing nature of our lives, and remains raw and unpolished. This authenticity is what sets my work apart.

BY STITCH
By merging my artistic emotions with my designer’s mindset, i found a unique way to share my stories through this new medium.
Departing from conventional canvases,I delved into communication via graphic tees. By blending literature, typography, and digital art, i curated a series of graphic tees that echo the messages encapsulated in my paintings.

I'M A VISUAL STORYTELLER
NO MATTER THE MEDIUM
Whether working on canvases or billboards, using oil paint, or virtual reality, I delve into all aspects of art and design to express myself and communicate. These endeavors define my identity and style.
Just like the two sides of the brain, the graphic designer and artist within me complete and complement each other. I often blend abstract art with graphic design to either ground my unconventional ideas or push them even further beyond the box. Ultimately, I see my work as an extension of my identity, and I strive for excellence in everything I create.
