Hey Contra,
I’m Merve, a London-based freelancer turning messy ideas and half-formed thoughts into clear, inviting visual stories for startups. Think engineering precision meets creative chaos.
I spend most of my time shaping narratives people actually want to follow, with pitch decks being my favourite playground.
Soft, muted yet powerful palettes and playful, collage-style compositions give me so much joy. Looking back, this probably started with the slightly over-engineered cards I used to make for my parents as a kid. My favourite film is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, which, honestly, feels like a collage in movie form, so this all tracks.
Tools-wise, I LOVE Photoshop for its versatility, and I have a soft spot for Canva because clients genuinely love how intuitive it is.
Excited to see what 2026 has in store ✨
nice to meet you
Nice to meet you too 👋
Hi Merve, really enjoyed reading this. The idea of turning messy ideas into visual stories really resonates. Also love the Eternal Sunshine reference, such a perfect analogy for collage-style work.
Thank you 😊 That means a lot! I was quite young when I watched it for the first time, but it really stuck with me, and I can definitely see it peeking out in my visual style, both personal and professional.
