I was born and raised in a small town in Turkey called Demirci. I took my bachelor’s degree from the Industrial Design Department at Middle East Technical University,<\/strong> Turkey, in 2014; and my master’s degree from\u00a0 Advanced Product Design Programme, Umea Institute of Design<\/strong>, Sweden. I have been working both in consultancy and in-house environments in varying industries from healthcare to consumer electronics.<\/p>\n I am always curious to learn new technologies and design methods. And I love working with constraints and in interdisciplinary project setups.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/6″][vc_column_text]Human behavior and its underlying drivers fascinate me both as a person and as a designer. I like to learn and explore in the design process, taking every project as a new learning opportunity.<\/p>\n I enjoy working hands-on<\/strong>, stepping away from the screen, and having a more tangible outcome at the end of the day. This is also true outside of my work. I do gardening;<\/strong>\u00a0growing fruits and vegetables whenever I have the space to do so. And recently I have started to do pottery<\/strong> and enjoying it quite a lot. You can check out my pottery work on my Instagram page here <\/a>if you are interested.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”70″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”0″ override_padding=”yes” column_padding=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”4″][vc_separator][vc_empty_space empty_h=”3″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”4″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”2\/6″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_separator sep_color=”color-wvjs” icon_position=”left” el_width=”20px”][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]MFA Advanced Product Design, 2018[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]BSc Industrial Design, 2015[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Exchange student, Industrial Design, 2013[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_separator sep_color=”color-wvjs” icon_position=”left” el_width=”20px”][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1594024793232{padding-bottom: -20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Qualitative and Quantitative Design Research \/ Analyzing User Data \/\u00a0 Turning Data into Insights \/ Design Thinking \/ Analytical Thinking \/ Storytelling \/ Strategy & Business Thinking \/ Co-Creation \/ Interactive Prototyping \/ Physical Computing<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1594025735712{padding-bottom: -20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Rhinoceros \/ Keyshot \/ ID Sketching \/ Rapid Prototyping \/ Model Making<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1594025749452{padding-bottom: -20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Sketch \/ Principal \/ Wireframing \/ Prototyping<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”1″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1594025238044{padding-bottom: -20px !important;}”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\nEDUCATION<\/h5>\n
