WORK
Good work should make you feel something before it makes you think something.
I connect design to operations.
And bring ideas to life.
At KARNA Café, my story began with graphic design and digital content for the café. Then I moved from shaping its visual presence to managing its daily operations: coordinating the team, tracking stock and costs, planning the menu and pricing, and maintaining service quality. That experience taught me a brand is more than a polished Photoshop file; it is a promise that must show up in the space and in every detail customers experience. In Bodrum, I also worked as a photographer at Dolphin Park, bringing on-site image making into my mix of design and operations. Today, I help companies and personal projects start with an idea, build a brand from scratch through identity, design, photography and social media, then connect it all to clear project management. I’m Bashar Fayad, a graphic designer and café and restaurant operations manager studying mechanical engineering in İzmir.
