Creative Director | 3D & Graphic Designer

Gunay Mahmudova
Design creates
a kinder world

I’m a designer with over 10 years of experience, working across graphic design, 3D and creative development.

Throughout my career I’ve collaborated with a wide range of brands, working primarily as a freelancer across diverse projects and industries. My work goes beyond visual design: I develop creative ideas and concepts for BTL, retail, digital and OOH campaigns, combining strong visual execution with original thinking.

I approach every project with a broad perspective and a strong focus on creativity. I enjoy exploring unconventional directions, finding unexpected connections, and turning ideas into distinctive visual experiences.

For me the concept behind the design is just as important as the design itself, and I always aim to bring a personal creative perspective to both.

My primary areas of expertise are graphic design and 3D modeling, which make up the core of my creative practice. I have worked extensively on developing visual identities, campaign materials, brand assets and 3D concepts, combining strong visual execution with creative thinking.

Alongside my main skill set, I also have experience in video editing, motion and visual effects. While I’m comfortable working with these tools and incorporating them into projects when needed, I don’t consider video production or visual effects my main specialization.

My strongest focus remains on graphic design, 3D modeling and creating distinctive visual concepts.
