Found this PDP design I made a while back 🥹
Back then I thought it was perfect. Now I see all the little things I'd do differently, but that excitement? Still exactly the same.
Growth isn't cringing at your old work. It's smiling at it and knowing exactly how far you've come.
old me did her best, new me knows better ✨
This design still loks incredibly cool and i think you made a great touch at a great point, in my opinion freelancers who are keen to improve should react with joy and get lessons from their old work. Wish you the best smiles Özlem, its great to know that you will never get cringy from your old work and keep improving!
Thank you so much, that really means a lot! 😊 I try to see my old work as a reminder of how far I've come, and hopefully there'll always be something new to learn. Appreciate your kind words!

XPlace — Crypto-Backed Visa Card Website design
Designed the interface for XPlace — a platform that lets users borrow against their crypto holdings and spend through a Visa card, without selling assets or triggering taxable events.
The challenge:
Create a product that feels both trustworthy and premium — avoiding the typical "startup" look, and steering clear of the neon/gradient clichés so common in crypto design.
The solution:
A dark, cinematic mood built around a monochrome landscape backdrop, bold expressive typography, and a metallic Visa Platinum card as the central visual anchor. Minimal elements, maximum focus on one action: get the card.
What's in the interface:
— Full-bleed hero section with an atmospheric background
— Large-scale headline that communicates value in seconds
— 3D card render as a trust-building element
— Transparent glass-effect header
Built in Framer — this isn't just the landing page, there are several more screens and flows I'll share case study separately 👀
That design, scroll transitions and color palette is very well designed with a great presentation. I like how you blend different type of scroll animations in different sections. Fits my dark sci fi aesthetic, good work!
I’m exploring two homepage hero directions for a Scramble Systems concept and testing which layout communicates the message more effectively.
Both directions use the same core idea: helping small teams deliver big wins in tough situations.
Direction 1 feels more structured and modular.
The large brand title creates a strong first impression, while the green content block makes the key message feel direct and contained.
Direction 2 feels more dynamic and action-driven.
The headline becomes the main focus, the green emphasis adds more energy, and the large athlete image makes the concept feel more immediate.
Direction 1: bold, structured, brand-forward
Direction 2: dynamic, focused, action-driven
Which direction feels stronger for a consulting/leadership website?

Direction 2
Circle to Square - from idea to physical product
I designed a complete chess set from the ground up, starting as an idea, developed through 3D visualisation, and carried all the way to a final physical product.
Every piece traces the same transformation: circle becoming square. Ceramic pieces, chrome bases, a stone board.
What started as a shape study became one of the most-appreciated pieces in my portfolio, now sold as a finished product. Sometimes the simplest idea, carried consistently, goes further than complexity ever could.
So amazing 😍
