Hey there, I'm Elif 👋
I’m a Staff UX Writer and Content Designer with over 10 years of experience bridging marketing and product content. Over the years, I’ve shaped brand voices, built scalable content systems, and written for products that reach thousands of users.
What excites me most is turning content into a design discipline: building Content Design Systems, creating guidelines that teams can rely on, and advocating for UX Writing where it hasn’t existed before.
I’ve been lucky to be the first UX Writer in several companies — setting up practices, collaborating with designers, engineers, and AI teams, and making content a natural part of the product process.
Always curious, always learning — and currently still a little obsessed with the idea of the “ideal” Content Design System.
About me
I've always loved playing around with words and questioning how we communicate. This curiosity led me to study Linguistics in university and shortly after I started working as an editor and content creator when I was 20 years old. I've been writing professionally ever since.
​
I also have a passionate relationship with music. I spend most of my free time discovering new artists or exploring different sounds. Combining my love for words with music, I also enjoy writing songs and singing my stories.
You can even listen to some of my songs on Spotify!
