Turk Kayadelen
Turkay Kayadelen, who goes by Turk for short, is a passionate storyteller and motion designer. He has worked on a variety of projects over the past 5 years, including animations, short films, and infographics.
A common theme with Turk's work is the inclusion of a narrative, even if it is for a simple motion piece. He feels it is a way of engaging and entertaining a targeted audience, which he considers as incredibly important above all else. Turk is influenced by a variety of different media, including video games, movies, and different art styles/aesthetics.
