Research Assistant, Yaşar University

I design games and I study them. I am a Research Assistant in the Faculty of Communication at Yaşar University, where I teach game design and interaction design, and I run Vesvese Studios, a small studio I started in 2024. Before that I worked on other people's games as a cinematic designer.

My research is in game studies. I am interested in how games tell stories, what their look carries, and what happens when a story moves between media. My master's thesis works through Dungeons & Dragons, following colour across the games and the film. It is also why there is a die in the corner of this page.
