About Me

Hi, I’m Oğuzhan Şimşek, a results-driven product (UI/UX) designer based in Istanbul.

With over 3+ years of diverse experience spanning agency, startup, and freelance environments, I've honed my skills across mobile apps, web apps, and websites.

I have solid understanding of UI and UX principles, experience with research and I leverage my proficiency in design tools like Figma to bring concepts to life efficiently.

I'm constantly expanding my skills and knowledge through books, courses, seminars, design communities, and hands-on practice.

Beyond design, I've developed skills in analytics, SQL, and basic front-end development (HTML, CSS, and some JavaScript), which help me collaborate effectively with development teams and make data-informed design decisions.

My Experience

Kasaba (Carla & Tourla)

At Kasaba, I work on UI/UX design and optimization initiatives to boost conversion rates, enhance user experience, and increase transparency. My approach involves:

  1. Conducting comprehensive user and market research to inform the creation of detailed user flows and guide design decisions.

  2. Crafting and implementing A/B tests to identify optimal solutions for our user base of thousands.

  3. Leveraging analytics tools such as Google Analytics, SQL, and Hotjar to gain data-driven insights into user behavior across our apps and website.

  4. Leading the development of a unified UI kit, significantly improving design efficiency and long-term maintainability.

This multifaceted role allows me to blend creativity with analytical thinking, driving tangible improvements in our digital products while ensuring a user-centric approach to design.

Red&Grey Agency & Other Clients

Red&Grey Agency is where I began my journey. I've gained valuable experience working on various projects including projects for top companies in Turkey (I was on TV 📺😄). This opportunity has enhanced my collaboration, communication, and prioritization skills as I handle multiple projects with tight deadlines.

I also had the opportunity to freelance for various clients, where I managed the entire process, enhancing my skills in presenting and explaining design choices while improving my planning skills.

Beeontrade

Working for a startup was a tiring but rewarding experience. During my time in Beeontrade, I gained valuable insights into understanding business needs, building UX awareness, systemizing interface design, writing documentation, leading projects which involved managing agencies, developers and designers.
