Whenever I work with someone, I like to make sure that people know what they can expect of me at all times. To give you some insight into what other people thought it was like to work with me, I’ve asked a few people to write what they thought of my work.
I’m such a fan your work, from the compositions to the use of color and light. Thank you for helping bring Addie to life.

Rengin has a deep understanding of conceptualization. Throughout the process she proved that she understood the concepts and purpose I was seeking from the illustration, and even surprised me with ideas I didn’t realize I wanted (and then couldn’t imagine going without).
There was an enduring impression that Rengin was seeking to collaborate, improve, and elevate the work, rather than simply fulfill her duty.
From the get-go, I could tell that Rengin is going to be very professional to work with – we discussed payment terms, got a contract set up, and agreed on method of payment while simultaneously discussing the project and the ideas she had in mind for my request. We started out with a very different concept initially, and it’s thanks to her ideas that we ended up with some that was even better than what was imagined.
From there on, it was standard procedure for commissions: exchanging references, feedback, drafts, and confirming whether we liked something or not. Throughout it all, Rengin was always on time, always kept us informed of what to expect, and most above all, was clearly passionate to deliver something that would make us extremely happy.
I would say that what sets her apart from other artists is as follows:
- Excellent client treatment – everything was clear, signposted, and very pleasant to deal with.
- Strong sense of art direction – she really helped us flesh out the details of the piece and go from a vague idea to a full, detailed piece.
- High level of polish and solid all-around artistic capabilities. I would say her signature is creating colorful backgrounds that have a distinctive ‘bloom’ to them.
I would highly recommend anyone who might consider her to just go for it – you won’t regret it if you like her art style.

Talented, driven, ambitious, passionate… are a few words that pop to mind when thinking of Rengin.
For 2013 – 2019, we’ve developed multiple campaigns together. She never stopped to amaze, kept raising the bar while maintaining her own personality, creating vibrant and attractive work.
We share the same passion for illustration. But Rengin didn’t stop at just being passionate, but pursued her goals. I admire what she has achieved and am curious what the future holds for her.

I have had the pleasure of working with Rengin on multiple long-term team projects, and I can safely say that she is a very dedicated and insightful person, who works well outside of the required amount of time to make sure her work is perfect.
She takes great care in making her art not only aesthetically pleasing, but technically correct for flawless implementation, which is an invaluable trait for an artist in the industry. She is clever, passionate, skilled and a lot of fun to work with, and I really hope that we get the opportunity to work together again!

Rengin has always struck me as intelligent, courteous, responsible, and aesthetically sensitive. She delivers projects when she is supposed to, and they have their own style, making them more interesting than other projects.
