Mustafa Kemal Karakaya

Industrial Designer

Hello, my name is Mustafa Kemal Karakaya. I am an industrial designer who approaches design as a holistic interaction between physical form, screen interface, and brand identity.

Academic Journey

Graduated as the Industrial Design Department Valedictorian with High Honors from Selçuk University. Polished my artistic skills at Erart Fine Arts, studied Web Design & Coding at Anadolu University, and continued Graphic Design studies at Istanbul University.

Entrepreneurship & Branding

Founded 'Stakarts' in 2020 as a registered trademark. Built my design portfolio and blog at stakarts.com, backed by KOSGEB entrepreneurship credentials and certifications in UX Design, FreeCAD, and Photoshop.

Product R&D & Interaction

Hired by Cormac Machinery for exterior, CMF, and screen UI/UX design of a digital sock knitting machine. Later collaborated with Köpüklü to design kiosk stands, user interfaces, and desktop appliances.

Completed a design internship at Arçelik Global designing 'Teosta' (a Beko toaster, tea & coffee concept), and partnered with Beko Corporate to design the Grundig Gardenkit tool collection for my graduation project.
