After receiving my MFA from Purdue University in 2009, I began teaching at Sabancı University in Istanbul, where I continue to instruct. During the past ten years, I have developed several course syllabi for both introduction- and advanced-level typography courses. In addition to teaching at Sabancı University, I lead workshops at institutions and conferences both in Turkey and abroad.

ArtNiyet is an annual art and design publication created and compiled by the students of the Visual Arts and Visual Communication Design program at Sabancı University. Under my supervision, this team of students met on a weekly basis to develop its textual and visual content. Although the physical meetings were abruptly halted in the spring of 2020 due to the Covid-19 outbreak, students pushed through the challenging circumstances and committed their collective focus to producing content while using the resources around them. With the support of Sabancı University, the remarkable output generated through their labour took the form of a publication that was printed and distributed throughout the art and design community in Istanbul.

Yahşibey Village, Dikili, Turkey
Yahşibey is a small Aegean village in Turkey with a population of about 200. Co-founded by Emre Senan and Ayşegül İzer, Yahşibey Design Workshops is a non-profit initiative aimed at fostering the art and design skills of university-level students. In the summer of 2018, I was invited to hold a two-week type design workshop in the village. It was a memorable two weeks spent working, cooking, and living with a group of ten students from Turkey and France. Students were divided into groups of three and each team collectively produced one typeface. In order to encourage them to explore the possibilities of letter-making, I tasked them with sketching and writing with various tools to acquaint themselves with the anatomy of each letter. After determining the visual concept, they realized their typefaces and designed specimen sheets to display them.

Text Invader

Text Invader is a system of typographic interventions that prompts a typesetting environment to automate the aesthetic and contextual precepts outlined by Deconstructivist typographers throughout the 20th century. I devised this method in 2011 by re-purposing the OpenType programming panel that exists in font editor programs. The default purpose of this panel is to create a set of typographic features that serve the font and, hence, the text. My curiosity in treating text as data prompted me to consider the alternative applications of OpenType programming and investigate its potential for data/pattern visualization.
I have given Text Invader workshops and lectures at universities in Turkey, Germany, Denmark, and the United States. The last workshop took place at the Hochschule Mainz in Germany, where Visual Communication students created a series of Text Invader typefaces; students then employed these typefaces in a series of multi-page layouts in search of semantic patterns in their chosen texts.
