WHO AM I?

I have been a practicing industrial designer for over ten years and been designing with a meticulous concern for good form. I have had the chance to work in a variety of industries, along with personal projects and freelance studies. My everlasting interest for novelties allows me to learn about a wide variety of subjects, motivates me to research and finally come up with numerous projects.

EXPERIENCE

Automotive sector has always been my core interest at which my internships, graduation project and Ms. Thesis were aimed towards. I have been designing low-pressure cast aluminum wheels for the last six years. Previously, I had three years of experience in designing busses/coaches with additional experience in designing packaging and consumer electronics.
