About Betim (she/her)
I am still life and motion stylist and set designer based in New York, NY. My work is inspired by optimism and a cultivated, effortless design sense.
I grew up in the cosmopolitan and historical city of Istanbul. My BA degree is in International Relations from Istanbul University; I also studied Visual Design at Parsons School of Design in NYC. I use my cross-cultural, creative background to understand the nuances of contemporary global retail markets. I love finding innovative, achievable solutions to original, dazzling concepts and bring enthusiasm to projects big and small. Listening to my client’s needs and finding collaborative solutions are valuable priorities to me. While it might look like I’m performing magic on the set, I’m really using my 20+ years of experience and resources to bring the seemingly impossible into reality. From rigging jewelry to appear it’s suspended in the clouds to illustrating the luminous qualities of the latest skincare product, I thrive in environments where I can use my imagination. Through dedicated research, I understand the materials and compositional elements that will create focused narratives for my clients.
When I’m not working, I enjoy swimming in the Atlantic, entertaining friends, and spending time with my family at Rockaway Beach.
