Hi! I'm Naz Gümüşlüoğlu,
also known as NazGum

I am UK-based character designer and visual development artist from Istanbul.I specialise in the early stages of development, blending experimentation with storytelling to create stylised designs that feel authentic and engaging.In my final year at Arts University Bournemouth, I led character design and co-art direction while also serving as the producer for the short film 'Sweet Troubles', where I helped shape its visual identity from concept through to completion.When I’m not sketching, you’ll find me diving into circus history, roller skating, or learning new languages!Thanks for stopping by! :o)📧E-mail: [email protected]
