Orcum Erdem
Product & Visual Designer, uI/UX Motion Graphics
Hello! I'm a multidisciplinary designer with expertise in product and visual design, UX/UI, motion graphics, digital arts, and strategic design/trend forecasting.
My journey in design began with a Bachelor of Arts degree in industrial product design from MSGSU University of Fine Arts in Istanbul in 2013. Seeking to expand my horizons, I embarked on a new adventure by relocating to Finland to pursue a Master's degree in Contemporary Design at Aalto University School of Arts, Design, and Architecture.
During my Master's program, I delved into the fascinating realm of color and material research, applying my findings to various art and design projects. Today, I specialize in UI design, digital graphics, and motion design, with a strong focus on enhancing user experiences.
