About Me

I’m Nazenin a creative mind shaped by coffee, design, and communication.

Born and raised in Istanbul/Kadıköy, I started my journey as a barista, where seven years of hands-on experience and professional training at MSA taught me precision, discipline, and the art of crafting meaningful experiences.

 

Over time, I realized that what excited me most wasn’t just making great coffee it was creating stories around it. I began producing visual content, exploring brand identity, and experimenting with digital creativity. This curiosity led me to study Communication Arts (Advertising) at Istanbul Kültür University, where PR, design and brand communication became my new playground.

 

Today, I work across content creation, brand identity, digital media and creative strategy. I love learning new things, solving problems with fresh ideas, and helping brands grow with a thoughtful and aesthetic approach. Honesty, teamwork and continuous improvement guide everything I do.

Education

 Began my educational journey at 50. Yıl Feridun Tümer Anatolian High School (2016–2020), a period that shaped my academic discipline and work habits. Following my growing interest in communication and creative production, I completed my undergraduate studies in Communication Arts (Advertising) at Istanbul Kültür University (2021–2025). This program provided me with a comprehensive academic foundation in advertising, design, media planning, and brand communication. Additionally, the professional barista training I received at MSA in 2019 offered me an alternative perspective on service-oriented work culture and hands-on experience creation.
