ABOUT

I am an Industrial Design candidate at Istanbul Technical University (ITU) with a focus on product design, user experience (UX), and design strategy. My approach is built on a diverse background that bridges the gap between technical design proficiency and actionable market insights.

I believe that design is a powerful tool for translating complex human needs into functional and aesthetic solutions. Whether developing physical products, digital interfaces, or strategic content, I leverage systems thinking to ensure that every project is grounded in research and technical validity. With a strong foundation in 3D modeling, prototyping, and trend analysis, I am dedicated to creating products and services that enhance safety, efficiency, and the overall human experience.
