Associate Product Designer @ Philips

About Me

Product designer at Philips, working with healthcare solutions for IGT space. I was born and raised in Ankara, Turkey. I finished my bachelor’s in Industrial Design and made my way to cold and dark northern Sweden to study master’s in Advanced Product Design three years ago. The journey so far has taught me that the definition of good design goes beyond one simple sentence. But for me, it definitely comes with having a decent understanding of people, systems, and norms. It can’t be delivered without building empathy, using hybrid skills, and seeking the big picture. And all of these combined is my north star as a designer.
