About

I'm a creative designer with ten years across brand identity, visual systems, and campaigns. My experience is layered equally agency-side and in-house, across Istanbul, London, and Madrid.



I build brands from zero and art direct them through to the final shot. Lately that work runs through an active AI practice, which has become a real part of how I get from idea to image.

It has been such a true pleasure and privilege working with Sim on several brand guideline projects. She has an incredible ability to take a simple idea and transform it into a complete, meaningful brand identity that feels authentic and always full of personality. Every concept she develops feels unexpected and uniquely hers. Sim is a truly special artist and designer, and her passion, creativity, and dedication make her someone I feel incredibly lucky to have collaborated with.

I had the pleasure of working with Sim, a wonderfully versatile designer who can seemingly do it all, and do it brilliantly. From layouts, social media and presentations to branding, illustration and creative concepts, she is a true jack of all trades, minus the “master of none” part. Beyond her impressive creative range, Sim brings great energy, reliability and personality to every project. She is collaborative, thoughtful and an amazing team player. The kind of person who makes both the work and the working day better. Any team would be lucky to have her.
