I am a scholar in Design with a background in Interior Architecture. My research is focused on interaction design, and I am currently working on AI-powered eco-didactic interactions in the public realm.
Previously, I worked as a Research Assistant and Teaching Assistant at Isik University, Interior Architecture Department, for 3 years, academically focusing on design-music relationships and gaining experience in practice-based courses. Prior to that, I worked as an Interior Architect and Designer between 2015 and 2020. I co-founded a design brand called 'Odd Things & Co.' in 2015, where we produced furniture, lighting, and branding until 2020.
My current work includes developing interdisciplinary collaborations in space, as well as working on a method for creating forms with music. My focus areas include the design-music relationship, architectural design theory, eco-didactic experiences in the public realm, interactive installation art, ecology and sustainability in the built environment, architecture, and urban texture.
