    • Product Design

    When I'm not busy wondering why are we here?, you can find me pretending to be a product manager or a designer. I may not have all the answers, but I know where to find them (usually on the internet). I'm a jack-of-all-trades and a master of some (I guess). On the weekends, I enjoy consulting for start-ups and dabbling in psychology. In my spare time, I like to lead people astray and obsess over user experience. Just your average, everyday, run-of-the-mill, multitasking, comedy-loving, start-up fanatic. In addition to my professional roles, I am also an avid start-up enthusiast. Need someone to mentor ? I'm your guy. Basically, if you need it done, I can probably do it (or at least I know a guy). Contact me for all your diverse professional needs!

    • Storytelling

    For 15 years I've been holding the space for people to try, discover and learn to design and play together for a conscious, unified and collaborative world. Learning from and being inspired by children I have built a new methodology called Design Playing™. Instead of trying to get away from problems and what we don't want, we need to dream of what we want and co-make those dreams tangible. We need to be playing along the way. Play is the only genuine means we have to unite us in harmony with our dreams. I have played together both locally and internationally with many companies including Coca Cola, BNP Paribas, ThreeFold, Turkcell, Pfizer, Legrand. Also I have been in learning programs within universities such as Medipol, Yildiz Technical University, Koc University. I have been mentoring many startups within incubation and business acceleration programs such as ITU Cekirdek and Imece (a social impact incubation). I have had the chance to do keynote speeches in Turkey, Ukraine and Spain. I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and get inspired; to think anew and be in a virginal state of mind. Collaboration is now and the future. Curiosity, peace, unity, love & having fun…
