Yasar Gulegul, Product Designer & Developer: I design products
and ship them.

7+ years turning complex problems into clear, shipped products, from the first sketch to production code.

Available for workIstanbul

01Selected work

Case files

Products taken from a blank canvas to production: SaaS, B2B marketplace, corporate web and mobile. Overviews are open; full case studies unlock with an access code.

02How I work

Sketch to ship

From the first user interview to the live product: research, prototyping and UI design, carried through to production code with the team. Tap a mode to open it.

It starts with the people who use the product. Interviews, analytics and support tickets become a map of pain points, and the map becomes a problem statement the team signs off.

03About

Designer who ships

I'm a Product Designer and Developer with 7+ years of experience across digital product design, UI/UX, front-end development and brand systems. I work across the full product lifecycle, from understanding the problem and structuring the experience to designing the interface, building reusable systems and shipping production-ready digital products.

My background combines product thinking, visual design and hands-on technical execution. I work with Figma, React, Next.js, WordPress, WooCommerce and modern cloud platforms, using AI-assisted workflows to prototype, develop and iterate more effectively.

I'm particularly effective in lean and cross-functional teams where I can take ownership, connect design decisions with business goals and bridge the gap between design and development.

AI-assisted workflow

AI widens the search: more directions, faster. Judgement on which one ships stays human. I use it for research synthesis, interface exploration, prototyping and debugging, and review every output before it reaches the product or the codebase.

AI-Assisted Product Development, Rapid Prototyping, Code Generation and Debugging, Research Synthesis, Interface Exploration, Content and Visual Production, Workflow Automation

Brand & visual

Campaigns, launches and identities, with a selection in Craft.

Brand Systems, Graphic Design, Digital Marketing Design, Email Design, Presentation Design, Print Design, Illustration, 3D Design & Visualization, Motion Design

How I work

End-to-End Ownership

I can take a product from an early idea through UX architecture, interface design, front-end implementation and deployment.

Design & Development Alignment

I design with implementation constraints in mind and work directly with code to preserve design quality in production.

AI-Native Execution

I use AI across research, exploration, prototyping, development and debugging while maintaining ownership of product and design decisions.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

I work effectively across product, engineering, marketing and leadership teams in remote and asynchronous environments.

Also: WordPress, WooCommerce, Theme Customization, Plugin Configuration, Site Architecture, Technical SEO, Content Management, E-commerce Setup.
