LET'S TELL STORIES TOGETHER-

Cover image for Over the past few weeks,

Over the past few weeks, I have shared a lot of what I have been working towards for years with Halate (https://www.linkedin.com/company/halate/). It’s the part of my life I share most often, and something that genuinely makes me proud. But there are also other sides of me that I like to share every once in a while. Building a personal brand and starting a new company are deeply personal. It can feel like you are creating something for yourself, but in ways it can also feel like you are simply trying to make enough money to pay the rent and cover your basic needs. Sometimes I feel like just another cog in the machine we call capitalism. Over the last few years I have been working a lot on myself and trying to see who I really am and what I really want. But because of internal and external struggles I also feel like a ghost in a shell that is just here to fulfill the social standards that we have build. I struggle with depression, loneliness and a general feeling of uselessness. I question life often and a lot of times it feels meaningless. Besides those internal struggles, I am constantly confronted by everything happening around us… trying to find a home, searching for more work, struggling to form meaningful connections, the state of the world, people blaming minorities for society’s problems, the rise of AI and whatever else comes next… These thoughts occupy my mind almost every day. Even though I have managed to turn my passion into my work, I still struggle to tell my own stories and express my own creativity. So from today, I want to do something with these thoughts and struggles. I want to make space for my own stories, not to chase likes or views and not because I expect to change anyone’s mind. Simply to express myself, for myself.

After

Today, we’re launching Halate. 🎬 After months of building, creating, refining and probably overthinking a few things along the way, it’s finally time to share what we’ve been working on. Halate is the next chapter for @Omar Duyarlar and me, a creative production studio built around something we both care deeply about: telling stories through film. We partner with brands to turn ideas, innovations and real experiences into films that people actually want to watch. From case studies and product films to event productions. But instead of writing a long post about who we are and what we do, we made a film about it. So… meet Halate. This is just the beginning. halate.io (http://halate.io)

Brand Strategist & Creative Director

Cover image for Getting more into imagery for

Getting more into imagery for brands — beyond AI, I also produce and creatively direct physical shoots for fashion and jewelry brands. These are some of the images we created for pieces from a collection we dropped earlier this year. Production is probably one of the most challenging parts of bringing a campaign to life. There’s a lot happening behind every final image — developing the concept, finding the right location and team, styling, lighting, shot planning, directing on set, and making sure every detail still feels true to the brand. It’s a lot to take care of, but somehow it’s also the part I enjoy the most.

Cover image for Recent work for Lynyer Jewelry,

Recent work for Lynyer Jewelry, AI product photography created for their ring collection. The main goal here wasn’t to go overly creative or make AI itself the focus. It was to create strong, commercially appealing imagery that feels polished, premium, and believable within the brand’s visual world. I’m currently open for Fall bookings. If you’re looking for a creative director who can take care of your brand’s visual direction, from developing the concepts to producing AI imagery and building a cohesive visual world — feel free to reach out.

Cover image for A concept campaign for a

A concept campaign for a fashion visor, developed as a full creative direction exercise from brief through to final visuals and video. The brief: position a functional accessory as a premium fashion object without losing its utility. The concept was developed using a hybrid production model, narrative and texture references built with AI tools (Seedance), combined with traditional creative direction of final campaign imagery. The approach demonstrates how AI can be used to develop and test creative concepts before committing to production budget. The output includes a full campaign narrative, texture direction, and final campaign stills, all anchored in a clear point of view about what the product stands for and who it's for.

Short-form video queen 👑

Cover image for Because not every fail is

Because not every fail is a complete fail 🤪 I'll be honest with you, the client I did this for didn't end up liking the final result, but call me crazy: I loved it! And other people I showed it too also really liked the designs. And you know what?? It's work, and it's work that I did and that I'm proud of, and I'm going to share it in my portfolio ✨ Curious to know, and be brutally honest - what do you think about these? PS: these were done as individual, static social media ads. I believe they were for Meta in the feed, but I could be mistaken since this was a few months ago already 😅

Cover image for I'm recording a youtube video

I'm recording a youtube video right now and talking about having a strong portfolio and how important it is to show your work made me remember mine has been dormant for a while 🫣 This is a pretty simple logo animation I did a while ago but for some reason I just love it - maybe it's the colors or just the simplicity of it? Would love to hear your thoughts!
