Introduction

Hey, I’m Ira

— A sun-kissed nomad with a penchant for pixel perfection. I’m the kind of girl who finds inspiration in the most mundane of things — a chipped nail, the bitter tang of Turkish coffee, or the way the golden light filters through the ancient glass of a mosque window.

My ideal summer would be to bask in the symphony of Istanbul’s chaos and charm: the melodic call of the muezzin, the gentle lapping of the Bosphorus against the weathered city walls, while the echoes of the simitçi makes you wonder what time of the day it is.

As a digital nomad, I had once called Istanbul home before responsibilities beckons me back to the Little Red Dot. But I’m too deeply smittened (you’ll know why in my stories), not even 8,636km can keep us apart.

I thrive on human connection, relishing the opportunity to meet new people, learn about their perspectives, and find common ground. Music is my muse… somedays I rock out to Mor ve Ötesi, while other days I’m listening to Coldplay and Bruno Mars on loop.

With a designer’s eye and a storyteller’s soul, I capture the essence of every sun-soaked moment, transforming my experiences into visual design.

And when I’m not chasing sunsets or sipping Turkish tea, I’m lost in between pixels and vectors, curating colour palettes that are as bold and vibrant as the city itself.

Join me on my adventures. I know where I’m heading – I don’t know how I’ll get there. But my audacity assures you the journey won’t be boring.
