We, as the Designer Interviews ("DI") had the distinct pleasure and opportunity to interview award-winning, most creative and innovative Pinar Bahar ("PB").
I’m a 27-year-old designer living in Turkey. I specialize in brand identity and web design, with a background in English Literature. I’m self-employed and passionate about helping brands express themselves in a way that feels both strategic and human. I bring a mix of creativity, strategy, and empathy into my work. In a world full of noise and trends, I focus on creating designs that feel authentic, warm, and meaningful. I’m not just designing visuals; I’m helping brands build real connections with people. I also believe in building a vibrant and friendly network, because real success happens when people lift each other up.

DI: Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?

I've collaborated with Silicon Valley-funded teams, luxury services from Bay Area to Stockholm, and founders across the Pacific. It's intimate partnership over transactional service you get someone who genuinely cares about your success and brings decades of visual intuition to help express what makes your brand extraordinary.

PB : I love designing from scratch, with a holistic approach. Thinking about every touch points. For small businesses and businesses in the growth phase.
DI: What is your most favorite design, could you please tell more about it?
PB : Lately, one of my favorite projects has been the brand identity and website for The Moving Concierge, a company based in Santa Cruz, California. I’ve always felt inspired by places connected to Steve Jobs, and working on something rooted in that landscape, with the dream of seeing the these places someday, added a personal layer of meaning. The project came with many unique challenges, and solving them was deeply rewarding. I took countless reflective walks, channeling David Lynch’s creative process, and had the opportunity to collaborate with talented videographers and photographers. Throughout the journey, I drew inspiration from beautifully designed homes and rich media references: each step infused with fresh perspective.
DI: What was the first thing you designed for a company?
PB : A logo for a Greek price comparison company.

PB : Figma and Midjourney. I started using with AI for the visual identity works. Also the prompts help my clients generate for the brand consistency while the brand grows.
DI: When do you feel the most creative?
PB : I feel most creative when I discover and listen to a great new techno set. It puts me in a state of flow where inspiration comes naturally. That energy fuels my work, especially when I’m developing concepts for brand identities or web design. It’s in those moments that ideas connect effortlessly and I’m fully immersed in the process.
DI: Which aspects of a design do you focus more during designing?
