Do I work directly with you, Oykun?
Yes. You work directly with me, not a junior or assistant. If I ever bring in another experienced designer to support, I’ll always let you know in advance.

What tools do you use?
I primarily use Figma for design and Framer for marketing sites. I can also work with other tools if needed. What matters most is the 25+ years of design experience behind it.

Can we have video calls?
Yes. In fact, I might suggest a call myself. For complex product work, calls often lead to faster and better decisions. Great design happens through collaboration.
