Hello,

I’m Merve.
A Manchester-based
Product Designer.

Most recently, I led the end-to-end design of a complex data management platform, from early product definition through to development-ready delivery. I also built and maintained its design system, working closely with product managers, engineers and users to make complex workflows clearer, more consistent and easier to use.

Previously, I designed e-commerce, financial technology and blockchain products across responsive web and mobile experiences.
