Portfolio

I was a judge in the İMMİB* 2020 Industrial Design Awards, home electronics category, and what a disappointment. There were better entries in the students' segment than in the professionals' segmen...

Launched the Anka UI project for Arçelik, Turkey's biggest domestic appliances brand. Anka is possibly the first of its kind, a recipe-based, fully customizable user interface for an oven.
