About Me

In my free time, I enjoy spoiling my feline daughter Snow White, playing lots of chess, and connecting with family in Türkiye.

I’m a hands-on product designer and aspiring design engineer passionate about building solutions that blend empathy, engineering, and everyday utility. With a foundation in mechanical engineering from Dartmouth and real-world experience launching products, from assistive wearables to social apps, I thrive at the intersection of user research, rapid prototyping, and human-centered design.

My work spans across disciplines: I’ve built tactile devices for neurodivergent users, led product strategy and UX for a campus-based matchmaking app, and prototyped mechanical systems like robotic chassis and gear trains. In every project, I focus on how it works, but also why it matters, always aiming to design products that feel intuitive, inclusive, and a little bit joyful.

As a former product manager and current maker, I’m energized by fast-paced environments where I can translate real user insight into tangible, manufacturable outcomes. I bring strong collaboration, an eye for both detail and system, and a love of turning ideas into tools that actually get used.
