About Me

Born in Turkey, I moved to Italy at 19 and have been living here ever since. I am currently pursuing a master’s in Product and Service Design, building on my background in architecture and visual communication design. My experiences include annual work trips to Africa and a strong passion for kitesurfing, where I also teach professionally. My ultimate goal is to become a world-renowned kitesurf designer.
