begum kose
Founder & SR. Art Director, creative lead
hello and thanks for stopping by. i'm begüm köse, the creative mind behind gl2u studio — originally from antalya, turkey, i grew up surrounded by the beauty of the mediterranean and pursued my passion for visual storytelling through a bfa in graphic design.
after nearly a decade as an art director in istanbul — collaborating with global brands across healthcare, hospitality, and fashion — i moved to london in 2019 to explore a more independent and human-centered creative path.
gl2u stands for graphic language to you — and that’s how i approach design: as a way to translate ideas into clear, intentional, and expressive visuals that resonate with real people.
when i’m not building brand identities or shaping campaign concepts, you’ll find me painting abstract art on paper. my artistic process blends instinct with structure — much like my design philosophy.
follow my art at @roaarhh on instagram.
at gl2u, we believe in crafting design that speaks — with purpose, with clarity, and with soul.
