(03) — About me

Skip timeline

01 / 07 — 2006–2013 · Childhood

Made by hand

Cardboard, paper and string were my first design tools. I spent hours turning whatever I found at home into something new.
02 / 07 — 2013–2017 · High school

A clear goal

In high school, curiosity became a decision: I would become an architect and make design the centre of my life, and I prepared for university with that goal.
03 / 07 — 2017–2022 · Istanbul Technical University

Thinking in space

Studying Architecture at ITU, model-making taught me structure, scale and detail. Design followed me everywhere; even wrapping a gift became a problem to solve.
04 / 07 — 2022–2023 · The turning point

A new medium

In 2022, while working as an architect, I met a UI/UX designer at Turkish Airlines who had also started in architecture. Hearing about that journey sparked my decision to bring my design thinking to digital products.
05 / 07 — Feb–Jun 2023 · Re:Coded bootcamp

Learning the craft

I was selected through interviews for Re:Coded’s 5-month UI/UX bootcamp, learning product design from international mentors.
06 / 07 — May–Oct 2023 · Yuyuto Games

First real product

While still in the bootcamp, I joined Yuyuto Games as a design intern, designing for games, where every interaction has to feel clear and fun.
07 / 07 — Oct 2023–Present · Turkish Technology

Today

Today I design digital products as a UI/UX designer at Turkish Technology, still turning ideas into something tangible, just like I did with cardboard.
