I was born on December 9, 2000, in Istanbul. According to my mother, I was the kind of child who could disappear at any moment quiet, curious, and always taking things apart. When asked why, I’d say, “To make them better.”
That mindset stuck with me. I explored seven different sports, made the high school volleyball team, learned bass guitar, and even performed a bit.
At 18, I found my motto: do better. I chose Industrial Engineering and completed over 15 courses and 200+ hours of training in marketing and business. I also worked on 6 applied projects to connect theory with practice.
Professionally, my journey started at E-Ticaret Merkezim, followed by roles at Yazılım Köyü, Optimum, Standard Profil, Maxion Wheels, and İlbak Holding.
In total, I’ve worked across 13 industries and 17 brands, contributing to campaigns that earned awards like Kristal Elma, Felis, and Altın Örümcek.
In 2025, I began my Erasmus+ exchange in Brașov, Romania.
I’m Mert Kesim and if you’ve made it this far, we might have something in common. Let’s talk.
