Cemre Güngör

My name is Cemre, pronounced GEM-RAY.

I hail from Turkey and Finland, and currently live in San Francisco.

I co-founded Branch.com with Josh and Hursh in 2011. These days I work at the Browser Company.

For my thesis project I created a system to generate data sculptures from one's travels over time. Take a look at the presentation or check out more pictures.

I write and talk about Product Design.

Writing

How to give better product feedbackThe best feedback is the one most likely to create empathy and elicit product change.
A year of designing at FacebookAnd how it’s different than designing at a startup.
Web apps deserve sexy transitions too!How we designed and built motion into the new Potluck with Framer and Angular.js
How to ship good designWhy are we showing off our work in dead mockups and not as finished products?
How house parties helped us design Potluck Yesterday, we launched Potluck — a new product from the Branch team that we’re describing as “a house party on the Internet.”
Prototyping swipe and drag gestures with FramerHere at Potluck we recently started using Framer.js to prototype and try out interaction ideas we come up with for our iOS app.

A little online tool I made to generate treemap visualizations based on travel histories gathered from TripIt. Check it out here →

This project was featured in the TripIt Blog and .net magazine, among others.

I had a view of the midtown skyline when I moved into my loft in Brooklyn, which was later blocked by an ugly condo building. I protested. Local blogs picked it up.

A Kinect-based projection installation I made for a Burning Man fundraiser party in San Francisco.
