About Me

I'm an empathizer, dot connector and designer, who believes a designer's mission is being a philosophical catalyst, which makes people think effectively, helps them articulate their purpose, creates meaning, and does it. I graduated with an Industrial (Product) Design Bachelor Degree from Middle East Technical University in 2015; then, I'm enjoying my life as an experience designer, trainer, and facilitator. I encountered various business models like B2B, B2C, and B2E in a wide range of subjects from predictive technologies to finance within different organization types like startups, NGOs, and corporate companies. I'm co-creator of UX Folks, which is a designer community and event series. Besides that, I also give mentorships on design thinking, user experience design and service design, etc. Recently, I work as a UX designer at Booking.com and UX Tutor at Career Foundry.
