About Me
I’m Arif Koray Çakırman — a graphic and motion designer, as well as an illustrator. At 25 years old with 5 years of experience, I focus on combining modern visual trends with a strong and refined design language across various projects.
Continuous improvement is a core part of my workflow. I regularly follow and practice contemporary graphic and motion design trends to enhance my creative skill set. My goal is to create work that carries a timeless aesthetic while still reflecting today’s dynamic design culture.
Outside of design, I maintain an active sports lifestyle, which keeps my discipline strong and positively fuels my creative energy.
