01What motivates you to design in general, why did you become a designer?
I have always liked creating my own designs, so being in a creative field was always a plan of mine. Back in school, I thought I would become an architect. I did study architecture, but my interest in lighting really grew through sketching light and shadows. The constant contrast between light and dark was what pulled me towards the field of lighting.
02What is the dream project you haven't yet had time to realize?
I would love to design, produce, and sell my own designs. However, I am currently focused on designing only, so that is something I would like to do in the future.
03What is your secret recipe of success in design, what is your secret ingredient?
Designing for a purpose. It may be a small purpose, but having something to fulfill or solve makes the design process flow better for me.
04How do you think designers should present their work?
Just like with design, I think it should be presented in your own way. Show your personality through every part of your work.
05How does design help create a better society?
The design of our environment is very important for our well-being. For example, the design of public spaces, living spaces, educational institutions, workplaces, kindergartens, and hospitals. Good design helps improve the function of all these places.

01Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?
I have always liked creating my own designs. So being in a creative field was always a plan of mine. Back in school, I thought I would become an architect. I did study architecture, but my interest in lighting really grew through sketching light and shadows. The constant contrast between light and dark was what pulled me towards the field of lighting.
02What kinds of works do you like designing most?
Except for the obvious answer, which is luminaires, I love designing with traditional materials in focus. In my design, Shwood wood is the material in focus. In other designs, the beauty of glass is in focus.
03How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?
No one has missed the evolution of AI and its impact on the design field. Although being a very interesting technology that is only in its beginning, I believe that there will always be room for all types of designs. There will always be something interesting and unique for every type of design technique.
04Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?
I am inspired by various places and situations, but I love to seek inspiration in the little things, like something small that really stands out to me. Something like that can stick in my mind, and I can draw inspiration from it for a long time. It can be a meeting between two materials or a specific angle of a shape.
05What is your "golden rule" in design?
Design with a purpose.
06What skills are most important for a designer?
For me, being open-minded is the most important and not being afraid of trying new ways of designing and new ways of thinking about design.
07Which tools do you use during design? What is inside your toolbox? Such as software, application, hardware, books, sources of inspiration etc.?
Since I discovered my passion for lighting through sketching, that technique will always be a favorite of mine. It is also starting to be a little nostalgic for me to sit down with a blank paper and a pencil. So I tend to always start by sketching and then move on to digital formats.
