I am a passionate fashion designer with over a decade of experience shaping luxury and mainstream collections. I’ve led design and development teams, steered woven and soft-woven programs, and collaborated with international brands such as Zara, H&M, Mango and more, translating trends into cohesive, commercially successful looks. I’m adept at building mood boards, driving fabric and print development, and creating collection identities that resonate across markets. I enjoy mentoring junior designers, forging strong supplier relationships across Istanbul, Bursa and beyond, and traveling to fabric mills and fairs to fuel inspiration. My goal is to craft story-driven, well-crafted garments that blend modern fashion language with practical production, delivering impactful results for brands and clients alike.
