I'm Buğra Bal

An interface feels “right” to use because of dozens of decisions you never notice — how long a transition lasts, how heavy a button feels, how much room a line of text is given to breathe. I’m an Istanbul-based UI/UX designer who works on exactly these details, focusing on user-centred interfaces, design systems and accessibility.

Alongside my design practice, I carry out academic research into interaction design, typography and ecological/bioacoustic interfaces — a dual perspective that keeps my decisions both intuitive and evidence-based. I’ve been taking on independent projects since 2020, and have also been part of design teams inside larger organisations; you’ll find the details of that path below.
