As Assistant Art Director for the film Veda, directed by Zülfü Livaneli, a unique invitation box was designed for the VIP gala. Initially managing traffic and client relations at RKLM, the role expanded into a creative position within an award-winning team. The invitation featured a meticulously crafted wooden box with period-specific carvings, lined with burgundy velvet, and containing a pocket watch set to 9:05 AM—the exact time of Atatürk's death. The cracked watch glass symbolized a historic moment when Atatürk’s watch deflected a bullet during battle.
