Hello there! My name is Emir Suat Darman. Born in the lively city of Istanbul on May 28, 1996. To this day I still live in Istanbul. I'm a passionate designer who loves to explore various creative areas. I consider myself an all-round designer, given my experience across a diverse range of skills.From crafting videos, animating illustrations and designing impactful brands to blending art and technology through creative coding – I find joy in all aspects of design.
My formative years began at Terakki Vakfi Okullari High School, between the years 2002 to 2014. I studied elementary, middle and high school there. Therefore Terakki holds a special place in my heart. Upon starting my college life in Sabanci University in 2014, I started Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design program. The academic flexibility at Sabanci allowed me to improve myself in different areas such as Oil Painting, Creative Coding, and 3D Modeling alongside standard courses in Graphic Design and Art History.
Following my academic journey, I was dedicated to dive into the professional life, but the Covid-19 pandemic unfortunately changed my plans. My career took off during the pandemic in August 2019 at Kompanion, where I worked 2.5 years. During my time there, I engaged mainly in video editing, UI design, social media content creation, and app store visual designing in various languages. I had the opportunity to work with group of talented people. Collaborating with Illustrators, Product Designers, Photographers, and Developers enriched my experience. Exiting Kompanion at the beginning of 2023, I embarked on a personal design career with a sense of purpose.
Beyond my passion for design, I possess a deep interest in fashion especially sneakers, to the extent that I managed a global eBay business selling Jordans during high school. Music also occupies a significant space in my life; tunes accompany me while I design and work. In 2019, my passion for music inspired me to learn DJ'ing, an endeavor I continue to pursue intermittently. Additionally, I have spent the last 1.5 years passionately learning Italian, a language that has captured my fascination. Looking forward, I aspire to master a musical instrument.
