İbrahim Özvariş
Multidisciplinary Designer + Artist
hello!
My name is İbrahim. I am a multidisciplinary designer, an architect and an artist. I like to describe words, problems and needs with images.
In 2017, I graduated from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, with a double major in Architecture and Urban Regional Planning. During my studies, I joined several workshops in Grenoble and Lyon, France and some other countries. I also participated several competitions and won awards . After graduation, I worked in architectural and graphic design offices for a few years. During that time, I participated national architecture and photography competitions which I honoured by varied awards. I started for M.A. on Urban Design in Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University at 2019 and I’m still working on my thesis right now.
Currently, I continue to work as a freelance consultant on topics such as visual communication design, editorial design, report design, brandingidentity design, social media content design, web design, logo design. You can see examples of this works in my portfolio. At the same time, I also continue to participate in competitions of both national and international architectural&urban design and artistic photography works. My areas of interest are festival cinemas, art, architectural photography, big data visualization, publishing, printing, colours, materials and volleyball. At the same time, I play professional volleyball, I do bodybuilding and long walks.
