Hello, I’m
Rıfat Büyükkaymakcı
I’m Rıfat Büyükkaymakcı: a lawyer, father of two, traveller and a member of the Tifosi. I love discovering new stories as much as new places. My favourite fictional character is Sherlock Holmes.
My curiosity stretches from Middle-earth, Star Wars and Dragonlance to Greek, Turkic and Norse mythology. Whether with LEGO or the projects I develop, I enjoy bringing ideas to life, piece by piece.
New places, new stories
I love exploring new places. Gomnio is the project I created to help plan those journeys.

My favourite fictional character: Sherlock Holmes. This little detective is a nod to his world.
Ancient stories, endless curiosity
Greek, Turkic and Norse mythology… I find inspiration in the stories different cultures tell to make sense of the world.
The raven’s message
“But a noble name will never die, if good renown one gets.”

I love bringing ideas to life, piece by piece. Sometimes with LEGO, sometimes with a new project.
My heart is Rosso Corsa
A little speed, a little passion. On race Sundays, my heart is at the track; always a Tifoso. Forza Ferrari!
