About 

I am an M.Arch - Post Professional - degree holder gained from NewSchool of Architecture & Design as well as an architectural designer who had three years working experience.I have been actively taking charge in a variety of phases of architectural design, such as conceptualization, design, and visualization at Hakan Kiran Architects for two years at high-density multifamily, mixed-use, and commercial developments.

I believe it is important to explore and discover ways to redefine space for people. Hence, I am studious about searching, finding, learning about different materials and implementing them to design to evolve buildings into higher quality spaces for occupants.Therefore, my master’s research examines how each of the senses used for improvement in visualizing & perceiving spaces. It discovers the methods of architectural approach to training and educational centers for blind and visually impaired children in order to prepare them in real-life conditions.
