Description
This year, I am looking for people who know about social media marketing, web design, multimedia help like photography and video skills and graphic designs particularly Photoshop skill. I used to have a designshop/studio in center of Kaş, but I moved my studio to my home 2 years ago and am now looking for more support with computer based skills.

*️️*️️ In April and May (Spring) or Autumn also looking for help with building and renovation work for the garden and open studio next to the house in Gökseki *️️*️️

I'm from İstanbul orginally but I'm living in Kaş already 7 years. I'm a painter, glass and mosaic artist and I used to have my own studio in Kaş centre. In the studio, I used to sell my art work and organise mosaic, glass fusion and art workshops for adults and children.

I closed the shop last winter theirfore now I work from the home. Thats why I can welcome workawayers for about a week max two and to able to help me about the social media help, graphic design perhaps help me to update my web page..

I live just ten minutes from Kaş by minibus in a village called Gökseki. I live in an old stone house at edge of mountain, nearby the sea. I visit people locally and enjoy walks in the area. I speak fluent English, have travelled widely in Europe and the East and love meeting new people, learning about different cultures and showing people my country.
