I’m Onat Benli

Ethan Smith

My name is Onat Benli and I'm a 29-year-old senior product designer with 6 years of experience. I'm based in Berlin. I also have a degree in software engineering. I'm passionate about design. I've created two companies in the past. I'm constantly learning, experimenting, and exploring the possibilities of design.

I'm driven by a desire to create meaningful products that are both beautiful and functional. I'm not afraid to take risks, and I'm always looking for new ways to push the boundaries of what's possible. When I'm not designing, I'm doing stand-up comedy in both Turkish and English. I'm also creating podcast for Babylon Balkan Show(English) and Uygunlar(Turkish). I also enjoy writing, reading, traveling, and listening to podcasts. I'm always looking for new ways to challenge myself and expand my knowledge.

I'm excited to continue growing my skills and creating products that are beautiful, functional, and user-friendly. My goal is to use my skills to make a positive impact on people's lives and help them to solve their problems. I'm proud of the work I do, and I'm passionate about helping others reach their full potential.

In the wireframing phase of the design process, I create a visual representation of the product's structure and layout. This helps to quickly identify the flow of a product and any potential issues.
