Summary

Driven by a lifelong passion for creativity, my journey in design began with childhood sketches and has evolved into a career dedicated to turning ideas into impactful projects.

Growing up in Turkey and studying in Italy has greatly shaped my perspective on design, culture, and innovation. Through experience in diverse creative environments, I have honed skills in teamwork and problem-solving. Additionally, my education has equipped me with productive skills such as design thinking, project management, prototyping, and 3D visualization.

With a drive to push boundaries and craft purposeful solutions, every project is an opportunity to blend artistry with functionality in the ever-evolving world of design.
