& 333 is an interesting name for a brand. Would you like to shed some light on your emergence story and how you actually set off?
My interest in three-dimensional art began at a very young age. First I studied ceramics. Then I studied Graphic Design and Advertising at the university. The more I experienced different fields, the more I came to know years later how good one’s perspective is for creativity. I would like to set an example of a cool ad.
”Where you start doesn’t have to be where you finish. Nothing is impossible. Your point of destination will be there waiting for you. ‘’ After my design career at Beymen, which concerned advertising and three-dimensional art, I started designing entertaining and zippy bags with my brand & 333.
While I was still working on brand positioning, I thought that our name should make you smile and its energy must be high. & 333 is a name that makes you feel all these creative, positive meanings and is easily understood in every language.
