Independent designer & developer
TARIK KAVAZ
Designer and developer building useful digital products.
I help organizations turn complex ideas into clear interfaces and dependable software. I bring 26 years of experience across product design, web development, desktop applications, and technical strategy.
What I Do
I shape ideas across design and development, from initial structure to a maintainable finished product.
Product, Interface, and Logo Design
Information architecture, UX, interface design, prototyping, logo and visual identity, and design systems for clear, coherent, distinctive products.
Web Application Development
Accessible, performant websites and applications, from polished front ends to dependable back-end systems and APIs, including production server setup and deployment.
Desktop Apps and Developer Tools
Cross-platform apps, browser and editor extensions, workflow automation, and focused tools that remove everyday friction.
Interactive and Game Development
Browser-based Phaser and PixiJS games and interactive experiences, tuned for responsive input, animation, performance, and maintainability.

About Me
I’m a multidisciplinary designer and developer with 26 years of experience, based in Istanbul and working remotely with clients worldwide. Before going independent, I spent nearly two decades at Istanbul Bilgi University, most recently leading its web development team.
That experience shaped how I approach long-lived digital products: understand the people using them, keep the system maintainable, and make careful decisions that continue to hold up after launch.
Away from design and code, I’m usually watching a film, listening to music, or spending time with animals.
How I Work
I combine design and engineering rather than treating them as separate stages. My priorities are clarity, accessibility, performance, and maintainable implementation.
Tools and Technologies
I work primarily with TypeScript, React, Next.js, Python, Django, Phaser, PixiJS, Swift, Tauri, Rust and modern design tools. I choose technology based on the needs of the product rather than forcing every project into the same stack.
