About

At the forefront of integrating technology with fashion, I am a Designer who graduated from Mimar Sinan University of Fine Arts with a focus on Fashion & Textile Design. My journey continued at MUDO, where my passion for sustainable fashion and wearable technology shaped innovative menswear lines. My expertise lies in crafting collections that resonate with modern trends, meticulously selecting fabrics, and employing CGI to bring concepts to life. As a Co-Founder, I harnessed my creative skills, learned at EZRATUBA and through various certifications, to build a fashion brand from the ground up. This experience honed my competencies in visual communication and my ability to analyze and forecast fashion trends. Currently enhancing my knowledge at Istanbul Fashion Academy, I am dedicated to transforming the textile industry through sustainable practices and cutting-edge design.

Tailor – Jennifer Lopez's concert (Turkey)

Jennifer Lopez Ent.

Jennifer Lopez’in İstanbul konserinde Tailor olarak çalışmak kariyerimin en heyecan verici anlarından biriydi. Hızlı backstage değişimleri, kostüm onarımları ve yüksek tempolu bir ekibin parçası olmak bana büyük bir deneyim kattı. Bu fırsatı mümkün kılan Nihan Engin, Nihan Hatipoğlu ve İstanbul Festivali ekibine; ayrıca yönlendirmeleri için Shawn Barton, Nicola Russ ve Nekia’ya teşekkür ederim. Bu yolu paylaşan tüm ekip arkadaşlarıma da minnettarım — enerjiniz her şeyi unutulmaz yaptı. 🖤
