My name is Arda AydarArda Aydar and I work from Ankara, Türkiye, as a product designer for mobile.

I design social and video apps used by tens of millions of people.

One of them reaches 90M+ people in 19 languages. I work on discovery, matching and video calling, and on the design system that keeps a product that large consistent while it keeps changing.

At VLMedia I design across several products at once and own the shared system that holds them together.

Before that, a year at GFDS on spatial and XR: interfaces with no edges, where depth, gaze and hand input replace taps.

And before that Nextlua. Small teams, short cycles, research to handoff on one desk. Three apps in twelve months, and the first design system I built end to end.

I graduated from the faculty of architecture at Çankaya University. It taught me to think in systems and sight lines before pixels. 

What I actually do: UI design. Design systems. Prototyping. Motion. User research. Mobile UX. Figma for the thinking, After Effects and Rive for the movement, and plain HTML and CSS when a prototype has to feel like the real thing.

I start from the system, not the screen. Components, type scale, motion rules, then the flows that use them. Quick prototypes over long documents. Decisions written down where the team can see them. A design file engineers can read without a meeting.

5 years. 7 products shipped. 90M+ people reached.  Available selectively for freelance alongside VLMedia. Product design, design systems, interface audits.
