deniz: graphic designer, trader and frontend developer
i design identities, social posts and banners for brands and crypto projects, and i build frontends in next.js and react. i trade on every market day.
currently: building corvus, running parallel degree°, designing for clients, in the charts, shipping ui packages to npm
i started with design and learned code to make the concepts real. i trade alongside both.
the star is my profile picture, developed here by ditherfx, one of my packages.

fig. 4provenance
- early 2020sfirst posters in photoshop, made out of high school boredom.
- personal pieces with no brief and no client. then the clients came.
- ui and frontend concepts, still drawn in photoshop.
- mid 2020si turned the concepts into code: next.js, react, motion and webgl.
- corvus ships. parallel degree° opens.
- i publish four motion packages on npm. this site runs on them.
- nowdesign, frontend and trading, every day.
the order is exact. the years are approximate.

fig. 6a · the sky
the sky over my desk, live
my oldest fixation. this is the sky over my desk right now, drawn from the clock and a star catalogue. it turns about a degree every four minutes. expand it to read each star.
it draws from a real star catalogue and the current time. come back in six months and you will see the spring sky.
