I am a multidisciplinary designer with a background in textile arts, weaving, and graphic design. I studied at Marmara University’s Faculty of Fine Arts and have practical experience in home textile design, pattern work, and tattoo artistry. I love turning ideas into tactile, visually engaging pieces and enjoy blending traditional craft with contemporary design techniques. In addition to my design practice, I have led teams in retail and fashion contexts, contributed to exhibitions and competitions, and pursued ongoing study in textile design and pattern design. I’m currently exploring ways to integrate textile concepts with graphic and product design, while continuing to work on design projects and client collaborations.
