WHO IS SHE?

Lists keep me sane so here’s one about me. (We can call it “Aslist” hahaha – I laugh at my own awful puns.)

  • My name’s pronounced As-la. Calling me “Ash”, totally fine. “Ass”, please don’t.

  • I’m a Lead Creative who’s worked in many creative stages from Strategy to Post-Production for 10+ years.

  • I’m currently freelancing as a Creative Lead for Philips. I’ve also had the privilege to partner up with Google, GitHub, PepsiCo, Douwe Egberts, Diageo, Ikea, Vogue and NYFW.

  • I was the Lead Creative at Ambassadors Amsterdam for 3.5 years and worked with brands like Unilever, Spotify, Uber, Jaguar, Veloretti and Booking.com.

  • I’ve worked, lived, laughed and laughed some more in New York, Miami, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, London, Istanbul and now Amsterdam.

  • I grew up half in the States and half in Turkey so I’m fluent in English and Turkish. I can talk to toddlers in Dutch, order a drink in Spanish and count to 20 in German.

  • I have a 17-year-old cat, Mocha, who’s lived in 17+ places with me. (He passed away 12.12.22 but I can’t bring myself to erase this sentence.) I now have 2 other cats, Lupita and Sebastian. I strongly believe Mocha sent them my way and no one can convince me otherwise.

  • I like cheese, wine and dad jokes the most. I can’t help myself and say “Ahh this takes me back” when I put my car in reverse.

  • I sing and dance way too much for a person who can’t sing nor dance.

  • I only judge people who judge people – and occasionally some creative work.
