I am a fashion designer with nine years of experience, specializing in woven products for both men and women. I have collaborated with Turkish supplier firms that produce collections for major brands including Inditex Group, Lifung, and Marks & Spencer. I believe that beyond creativity and talent, a designer should be observant and sensitive to the community and social issues, and I have applied that belief through humanitarian work and community engagement. In 2018 I moved to the United States and joined an Italian company as a sales associate, advancing to store manager where I developed leadership and multitasking skills. I also participated in a six-month project called “Welcome to Life” by the Ministry of National Education, helping children with mental disabilities explore colors, fabrics, and basic sewing techniques, and contributing to a collaborative project that produced 4,000 basic bread bags for Beyaz Firin bakery.…I am a fashion designer with nine years of experience, specializing in woven products for both men and women.
