Me, at mine - featuring The Cherry Side.

A multidisciplinary designer based in NYC.

Born and raised in Istanbul, I moved to New York to pursue my education in design, receiving my BFA in Interior Design from SVA and my MFA in Industrial Design from Parsons. 

A turning point in my creative journey came through an introduction to woodworking during my freshman year at SVA. What began as an unfamiliar process quickly became a growing curiosity for making. I found myself spending more time in the workshop, learning to work with my hands and discovering a different way of approaching design.

My practice moves between objects, spaces, and visual design, with a particular interest in materiality, tactility, and the relationship between the body and its surroundings. More recently, my work has explored touch, gesture, and sensory interaction, considering how familiar objects might invite moments of curiosity and discovery.
