Get to know me a little bit more

Hello, I’m Cagatayhan and I’m 30 years old. With a passion for design that started in 2003 as a hobby and turned into a career in 2011 filled with love, I always striving to learn and stay up-to-date on the latest technologies. I worked from Web3 to DeFi, SaaS to B2B, Fintech, and Shopping products, which I got covered with my expertise. My general design line is simplicity, fewer click, and easy-to-use. I keep the user experience in my focus to make the world a more livable place. Besides, I have a funny, collaborative, team player, fast-learner, and quick-adapt personality.

I addicted to the exploring and gain new experiences!

Outside of my professional design work, I’m an avid learner and explorer. I believe in continuous personal growth, which has led me to develop a diverse set of interests that complement my design expertise. I regularly engage in hobbies which fuel my creativity and give me a fresh perspective when approaching design challenges.

Additionally, I’m passionate about travel, experiencing new cultures, and understanding different ways of life. These experiences allow me to think globally and incorporate cultural sensitivity into my work.

These hobbies and experiences not only shape me as a person but also influence my professional work, helping me stay inspired and versatile in the ever-evolving field of design.

Working History

Work Experiences

KEOM Protocol

Senior Product Designer

The role involves designing new products, conducting research and user testing, submitting a guide to the software team, and working closely with them to keep the project pipeline running. I already designed design system and existing landing page and Dapp from scratch based on user feedback, ease of use, and simplicity, ensuring they are compatible with mobile devices and I designed the brand identity.

CK Design Lab

/

Founder

I begin each project by uncovering problems and client needs, conducting research, and creating low-fi wireframes using A/B tests, empathy maps, journey maps, and persona research. After reviewing these studies with stakeholders and potential customers, I switch to hi-level design and conduct usability and user testing, followed by prototyping with finished hi-level visual design. I finalize projects based on feedback and prepare a guide for developers to ensure smooth delivery to clients. As a designer, I worked with over 500 startups, small businesses, and individuals from Turkey, EU, UK, and US, delivering over 2000 design works.
