I am a User Experience designer with an industrial design background, concentrating on UX design and usability of HCI systems. I have experience in various design disciplines, such as UX, IxD, Usability, UI, ID. I think that designing is an act where one must creatively design the process itself in each unique problem and what makes a designer novel is his/her ability in the iterative formation of the process focused on the problem.

I have a Bachelor's and MSc. degrees in industrial design from the leading design faculty of Turkey. During my Master's study, I attended for 1 year courses on multimodal interactive systems and product design at the Eindhoven University of Technology as an exchange student. Later on, after 9 years of professional experience, I attended the MSc. program in Usability Engineering at Rhine-Waal University in Germany and graduated in 2019 with a good degree.

 

During my Bachelor study, two of my student projects (Modulus and Niche) were exhibited in important international and national exhibitions and took attention with their creative features. Both projects appeared in various media. My Master’s thesis at METU was exploring the “smart home” concept. And my second Master's thesis was on Usability and UX Evaluation of IoT systems, where I designed and tested a practical tool for this aim.

 

I started to work at Vestel Electronics in 2009. I took different responsibilities in product, UX and UI design, made numerous design projects and gained over 40 international design awards at Vestel, among which are Red Dot-Winner, Good Design, and Plus X - Best Design of the Year awards. 

​

At the moment I am working at Enreach Group, which is an Europe-wide company in business communication field. I designed here various products until now (native mobile apps, desktop apps, data visualisation boards). I worked on different topics of UX design in an agile structure with product managers, product owners and development teams. 

 

My talent, I believe, is in my ability to map complex systems, discern subtle relations between concepts or ideas, use analogies and  trying always to frame the big picture. Additionally, as it might be inferred from my background, I am a continuous learner, who appreciates honesty, kindness, and fairness.
