Dilara Melisa Yaman

Personal Summary

With a background in New Media and a multidisciplinary practice that spans content strategy, digital communication, and narrative design, I operate at the intersection of culture, learning, and innovation. My work gravitates toward the layered, the inherited, and the reimagined—whether it’s a myth retold through a feminist lens, an exploration of identity in digital spaces, or a strategic campaign bridging education and technology. Currently navigating intersecting roles in marketing, editorial writing, and educational development, I specialize in distilling complexity into accessible, resonant narratives. I’m drawn to projects that demand both analytical rigor and creative intuition—where content becomes more than communication, and language becomes a form of care. From critical essays on art and pop culture to the architecture of user-centered training programs, I believe meaningful storytelling can inform, transform, and connect across contexts.
