Hello! •
I’m Elif Kuvanlik, I was born and raised in Ankara, Turkey. I’m a digital designer based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands with a background in communication and design and a master's degree in digital design.
Through the combination of my love for visual design and my desire to help people in different ways, I am continuing my career as a UI/UX designer, which I began as a graphic designer. My passion also extends to the production of various types of digital content.
As an empathic creative, I'm passionate about solving today's social and environmental challenges through great design. With design, I hope to empower humanity and the planet.
I am constantly striving to improve as the design world evolves.
