Professional Summary
I am Ayşe Ece Çoğulu, a Visual Communication Designer passionate about creating impactful and visually compelling projects. For me, design is not just about aesthetics but also about conveying emotions, ideas, and identities.
During my studies in the Visual Communication Design program at Istanbul Bilgi University, I developed my skills in various design disciplines, including graphic design, typography, UX/UI design, 3D modeling, and branding. Additionally, I had the opportunity to enhance my knowledge through the Erasmus Program at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, where I focused on universal design principles.
Professionally, I have gained experience in media, marketing, and international relations. By combining my expertise in design, art, and strategic thinking, I aim to create unique branding solutions and bring value to the industry.
