The Footwear Design and Manufacturing Program, which I chose willingly in 2017 and got into with a 100% scholarship, was one of the best decisions I made for my future. Thanks to the university's facilities, the workshops, fashion shows, "Students Consulting Experts" events, entrepreneurship courses and fairs helped us strengthen our bond with the industry, analyze the market and manage customer relations. I had the opportunity to show my designs and present them to the market thanks to the '2017 IUE Alumni Fashion Show' and '2017 Izmir Shoe Fair', I attended. Thanks to this, I started to work with many famous names and companies such as Demet Akalın and ATV Europe. I am now working as an Executive Assistant at the Güler Shoe Factory. I design for many brands like Ataköy Shoes & Bags, Panucci, Hotiç. Being part of Izmir University of Economics is a source of great pride for me. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed and still provides support to me.

Büşra Kırmızıoğlu
2009 - Public Relations and Advertising Graduate
Immediately after graduating with honors in 2009, I completed my academic education in 2011, which I continued at a postgraduate degree in Istanbul. I gained professional experience for 3 years in different advertising and PR agencies in Istanbul. As a result of my application to the lecturing staff opened by YOK in the Rectorate of Pamukkale University in 2017, I was entitled to work as a Public Relations Specialist in this institution. I have been working as the Director of Press and Public Relations since 2019 at the institution where I am still working. Since the very beginning of my career, the most important fact that I learned during my education at Izmir University of Economics and which sheds light on me is the fact that as long as the information was conveyed to people with a correct communication method, that information provided a benefit beyond the meaning acknowledged by the next generation.
