Layer by layer, we made this together.
We began as strangers. We became classmates. Colleagues. Companions. And from that, we built our community.
We all have layers, and together we're greater than the sum of our parts.

Hello there, I'm Ayse! During my 4 years at MacEwan, I've learned to embrace the unknown and see it as an opportunity to experiment and learn. I love to try, whether it's different design sub-disciplines, new aesthetics, styles, and media. My work spans branding, information design, advertising, publication, photography, and motion design, with some video and stop-motion experience. I have high standards, which push me to ensure the final output is always one that I'm proud of. I'm committed to lifelong learning and approach every brief with curiosity and precision to create impactful and intentional design!

Carter Wynn is a Bachelor of Design graduate whose practice focuses on illustration while drawing from a diverse skill set across media, including photography and motion graphics. Their work blends grit, horror aesthetics, and a nostalgic 1990s sensibility to create strikingly evocative imagery. Carter is particularly interested in themes of intersectionality, identity, and the evolving entanglement of humanity with technology. Their capstone project, a socially driven science fiction graphic novel, serves as the physical coalescence of their studies and life experiences.

During my time at MacEwan University, I’ve found a passion for publication and brand design — projects where creativity must capture the essence of something important, whether it’s a story, a person, a product, or a company. I’ve found confidence and success creating numerous books, brands, and packaging, winning a creative design award, and being recommended for several extra-curricular projects. My adaptable nature makes me excited to collaborate with other creatives, experience new environments, and continue learning. I look forward to meeting new designers and putting functional products into clients’ hands.
