I am an independent Art Director born in Düsseldorf and based in Berlin since 16 years. I started working in advertising agencies and from there I build up my own business. Since 1 year I am working on my business “Angry Calamari” gathering my own clients and freelancing in agencies. This gives me the freedom to work remotely which satisfies me and gives me great international input.

Thanks to the creative atmosphere he grew up in, he worked towards defining his own design language. Ümit’s approach seeks to combine organic lines with natural shapes and materials. He is especially fascinated by merging traditional craftsmanship with new technologies to achieve an innovative design.
