About me

Hi there! I am a computational and architectural designer currently looking for any exciting job opportunities where research, technology, computation and creative fields merge together to create innovative and transformative solutions. I love design and all the creative process within it. I am also looking to collaborate with anyone interested in any kind of creative process. You can check out some of my work at my online page. Cheers!

Projects

• VASDesigned as part of an entrepenurial/ product design course, Vas was the outcome of a collaborative effort to create an ergonomically designed container to simply hold spices, jewelry, and to fit the user needs.
• Eklektik Art MarketThe thesis proposes a hybridization and evolution of the Madrasa and Caravanserai topologies for a secular, interdisciplinary school and maker space. Located in Taksim Square, the project aims to become an educational/ artistic hub for a growing eclectic Istanbul.
• Emergent 3D path systemsEmergent 3D path systems is a small computational research project which entails learning and understanding how 3D Wooly Paths work, and how this system combined with an agent algorithm can be used as a method to create emergent, optimal structures. The project results from interaction of both methods, and its goal is to build a structure that can adapt and optimally grow from any 3D geometry.
• Irregular Knitting PatternsUnderstanding the research focus and processes of previous studies in computational knitting, the aim of this dissertation is to introduce a new approach to create irregular knitting patterns of any 3D geometry, using a re-meshing tool and a crawling algorithm as a segmentation method; thus, resulting in simulated stitched geometries. For more info, you can see my whole dissertation at the following link: DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.23728.71682
• Projected Emergent InteractionsThis interactive project simply lies in investigating how the space in betwen people or the “proxemic space” can be used to physically engage them through projected interactions in their shared space.
• Embodied MazeEmbodied maze arose to research how our embodied cognition will allow new ways of building augmented tools to synthesize physical and digital environments.

DesignPickard Chilton Architects
Aug 2016 - Aug 2018New Haven, United StatesFull Time
At Pickard Chilton, my role as a designer was multifaceted as I collaborated on the design of a public elementary school exterior façade, iteratively designing it through the feedback of the school board, parents, and mayor office representative’s values while ensuring the studio project quality throughout all phases. Additionally, I produced and delivered an interior design development set for the design of a high-rise building comprised of office, hotel and parking spaces. Thus, I assisted the project team to develop multiple spatial and material schemes of the lobby, elevator, and restroom spaces that met the client’s vision and budget. Other tasks were assisting during competition stages, help in-house modelers, 3D print building models, and polish client meeting slides using Adobe Suite software.
