I have graduated from department of Industrial Design in Middle East Technical University, in 2016.
I have always wanted to be a designer because creating new products is so satisfactory.
I chose to become a designer.
I have worked on various design projects so far. I really like to work on various projects without exception because every projects teach you different things.
Work hard with passion.
Creativity would make you only a good designer, but you have to combine your creativity with your knowledge about production techniques and materials.
If a product can respond customer needs, we can call it a good design. Hovewer, really good design should provide innovation and advantages in terms of production.
Good design is the only way to differentiate from other products in the market, so everyone invest in good design
Observing people's needs and working hard.

My family and instructors.

To reach a lot of people all around the world with my designs.
It is difficult to make such a choice because each projects I have worked before was so satisfactory.
Developments in 3D printer technology would provide designer more freedom and creativity without traditional production constraints.
It depends on project. It can range from 1 week to 1 year.
Firstly, I start doing market research and observing target group to understand their needs.
Mostly, modeling and rendering programs.
It is so important to create the character of prodcut's, reflecting its novelty and attracting customer.

You have not seen my favorite design yet, so I want show it to you next year instead of telling about it.
It was an office furniture for young generation.
I think that 3d printing technology is an eye-opening for designers
There is no special time for that
Combining form and function.
I feel exiceted like a kid with a new toy.
I am really proud of it
It is important to understand customer needs and responding that with your design for success
First, I ask if it is convenient for production and properties of selected material. Another key point is that form of product should reflect its function and novelty.
Designers should not forget their responsibilities towards nature, so they should prefer eco-friendly materials and less harmful production techniques for nature.
Most people will have their own workshop at home with the spread of 3d printers, so this situation would encourage people to design new products to respond their needs. Thus, people will become more creative and free.
My last exhibition was at my university, in Turkey about my gratuation project.
Observing everything in nature is the best source of creaativity and inspirations for me.
I attach more importance to integrate new function to product according to customer needs, and form the product with this function.
Companies should find designers who know how to produce a product at least as well as how to draw it.
Modeling and rendering programs.
It depends on project.
To reach a lot of people all around the world with my designs
I have been working as a team for a while
