After graduating from a french high school, I have started my architectural journey in Istanbul Bilgi University in 2013. From the first year of college, I have been improving myself in CAD and 3D modeling/rendering softwares such as AutoCAD, Rhino, V-Ray, Grasshopper, Lumion, SketchUp, Cinema 4D. Plus, I have had a lot of experience with Adobe softwares such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects and Premiere. During my undergraduate years, I have done summer internships in different firms where I had experience in both construction site and office. In these internships, the projects that I was involved in were residential and hospitality. In 2017, right after I graduated from college, I have started my masters of architecture degree in Parsons School of Design with advanced placement where I had a lot of experience from different disciplines such as lighting design, environmental design, urban design, sustainability, healthy materials, motion graphics and artificial intelligence. In 2018, I have taken the design/build studio where we worked as a group of nine people starting from initial programming and schematic design through construction phase. In this project I have acquired experience in client relationships, design development, construction documentation and administration, building permit and field work. The contribution that I have done for the project has ranged from creating conceptual renderings to technical drawings for DOB and budgeting. In addition, I worked as an AutoCAD, Rhino, V-Ray and SketchUp tutor, a student worker in woodshop and a research assistant while I was pursuing my studies at Parsons. Having these three jobs at the same time with my masters studies also improved my multitasking skills a lot.
