Jr. UI/UX Designer · Istanbul
Serra Marangoz designs calm, research-led interfaces.
I work across the full process, from problem framing and user research to prototyping and UI. Every case here starts with real users and ends with screens you can click through.
About me
Welcome to my portfolio.
I’m a UI/UX designer. My projects come out of an intensive, practice-oriented UX training, where I focused on applying user-centred research and design methods as rigorously as possible. That is the lens all of my case studies are built through.
I’m increasingly bringing AI tools into research synthesis and workflow automation, and I’m looking to grow with a team where design decisions are tied directly to business outcomes.
Before design, I studied philosophy and ran my own felt-craft brand for three years, so I’m used to asking why, and to shipping.
