I AM A

DESIGNER

Independent Product Designer & Consultant — with a strong background in analysis and user experience design. I specialize in crafting engaging and intuitive digital products that deeply address user needs.


I love everything that has to do with research, user-centered solutions, and creative design. My practice is focused on design research, CX, UX, and UI design.

I thrive on tackling complex challenges and turning innovative ideas into reality. My design approach is as flexible and evolving as the problems I solve — I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Great design, to me, is the result of continuous learning, iteration, and adaptability.


Having studied and lived in South Korea for several years, I’m now based in Istanbul, Turkey. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, reading, and exploring new design tools.

It is always inspiring for me to share knowledge and see how it inspires others. It's not just about giving and assisting others; it is also an incredibly humbling experience to learn from talented individuals.

Over the past few years, I have had the privilege of participating as a speaker in webinars and presenting at workshops, where I shared valuable insights on experience design and user-centered research methodologies.
