I also have an entrepreneurial background. I co-founded a media company in Istanbul, which gave me first-hand experience of building products under real commercial pressure, not just inside polished corporate setups.

My core strength lies in CX/UX design for regulated and large-scale environments, where clarity, collaboration, and good decision-making matter more than shiny outputs. I’ve led creative processes both hands-on and at a strategic level, often acting as the bridge between design, product, and business.

Alongside consulting, I’m the Capability Lead for UX at Cygni, Part of Accenture where I focus on growing UX maturity and exploring how AI can meaningfully support design work (not replace it). I also teach UX/UI at Berghs School of Communication, Salt and Changers Hub which keeps me sharp and grounded in fundamentals.

What I’m known for:
    • Designing user-centered digital products that work in the real world
    • Leading complex initiatives where many stakeholders need alignment
    • Building strong teams and raising the overall quality of design work
