After graduating from high school as a top student in 2015, I chose the Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design at Izmir University of Economics for my undergraduate education. During my undergraduate study, I performed internships in various companies and worked part-time. I graduated in 2020. I gained work experience in the field of interior architecture and furniture. As of 2021, I am pursuing my master's degree with thesis in the field of Design Studies at Izmir University of Economics. The most important reason why I chose this field is that I could focus on the subject I wanted to research with a multidisciplinary approach. Thanks to the courses I took during my master's education, I made an attempt that I had dreamed of for a long time.
