WHO I AM
Hi there, I’m Berke. I’m a product designer based in the Toronto area, shaped by a mix of technology, storytelling, and a lifelong obsession with how people experience the world.
I studied Interaction Design at Sheridan and have spent the last few years working across startups, SaaS teams, and creative studios, building products that feel intuitive and human.
I’m originally Albanian, from a small Southern European country rich in warmth, identity and way too much espresso (Is it that sweet? I guess so). It pushes me toward work that’s thoughtful and genuinely human.
