Hello I am Chim! I am a visual artist and music lover based in Istanbul. I worked professionally as an art director for a very long time, so I am good at many different programs. I am interested in 2D animation ( especially frame by frame is my passion and rotoscoping), digital drawings, video editing and motion graphics.
Whenever I listen to music, I find myself dreaming of the music video of the song I listen to because I think the music and visuals are a magnificent couple. We all have stories we want to tell, and I just want to help with that.
I can't wait for your amazing songs to come together with my visuals. I am open to any idea. I would love to hear about your projects! Please don't hesitate to contact me.

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Album cover
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Definitely digital because if we don't adapt, we lost. my favorite genre is 2d animation and actually it's a traditional animation method. yes, the feeling of traditional works is very different, but now we can do everything digitally. It is possible to find the same feeling with digitally drawn frames.
