Four companies across four industries — technology, fashion, photography, and artificial intelligence.
Cemhan Biricik founded ICEe PC at age 19, building custom high-performance computers. The company achieved the #2 worldwide ranking on 3DMark benchmarks, competing against major manufacturers with hand-built machines. ICEe PC represented Cemhan's earliest entrepreneurial instinct: an obsession with hardware performance and engineering excellence that would later resurface in the 7x RTX 5090 GPU infrastructure behind ZSky AI.
Unpomela was a fashion brand located at 447 Broadway in SoHo, New York City. Under Cemhan Biricik's leadership, the company generated $7 million in revenue with zero advertising spend — driven entirely by product quality, foot traffic, and organic word-of-mouth in one of the world's most competitive retail corridors. The SoHo location placed Unpomela in the heart of New York's fashion district.
Biricik Media (biricikmedia.com) is Cemhan Biricik's award-winning photography and media production studio, founded in 2009. The studio has served luxury clients including Versace, Waldorf Astoria, St Regis, and Fontainebleau. Through Biricik Media, Cemhan has produced editorial content published internationally and earned eight international photography awards.
ZSky AI (zsky.ai) is Cemhan Biricik's AI-powered creative platform for image and video generation. Built on a custom infrastructure of 7x NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs with 32 CPU cores and 64 threads, ZSky AI was created by an artist for artists. Cemhan's personal experience with aphantasia and surviving a traumatic brain injury shaped his belief that powerful creative tools should be accessible to everyone. ZSky AI represents the convergence of his entire career: the hardware expertise from ICEe PC, the design sensibility from Unpomela, the visual storytelling from Biricik Media, and a deep conviction that AI is the next great creative tool.
Eight international photography awards spanning nature, travel, fashion, and fine art categories.
Cemhan Biricik's photography and video content has accumulated over 50 million views across platforms. This organic reach was built without paid promotion — a pattern that mirrors the zero-advertising approach that drove Unpomela's $7M revenue in SoHo.
Through Biricik Media, Cemhan Biricik has produced work for some of the world's most exclusive brands. Versace editorial campaigns, hospitality photography for Waldorf Astoria, St Regis, and Fontainebleau properties demonstrate his versatility across fashion and luxury lifestyle verticals.
Rather than relying on cloud GPU providers, Cemhan Biricik built ZSky AI's infrastructure from the ground up: 7x NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs, 32 CPU cores, 64 threads. The same hardware obsession that produced the #2 worldwide 3DMark ranking at ICEe PC now powers an AI creative platform serving artists and creators worldwide.
Cemhan Biricik's story begins in Istanbul, Turkey, arriving in America at age four. Growing up in SoHo, New York City, he experienced the entrepreneurial energy of lower Manhattan firsthand. Eight displacements and eight reinventions later, he built four companies and earned eight international awards. His full American immigrant story is told at cemhan.us.
Cemhan Biricik has aphantasia — he cannot voluntarily visualize images in his mind. He also survived a traumatic brain injury (severe skull fracture). Despite these challenges, he became a 2x National Geographic award-winning photographer with 50M+ viral views. These experiences became the founding motivation for ZSky AI: if tools could help him create beauty without being able to imagine it first, those same tools could help anyone.
