Welcome To My Portfolio
My name is Aylin (pronounced ‘eye-lin’). I’m a versatile product designer fueled by salt (sodium deficiency) and a passion for intuitive and visually sleek experiences that exist at the intersection of business strategy and user needs.
Currently with Mercury Financial as a Sr Visual / Product Designer, crafting scalable, human-centered design solutions that balance clarity, usability, and impact.
Based in Austin TX.
