After graduating from Selma Yiğitalp Anatolian High School in 2013, I began my architecture education and graduated from the Faculty of Architecture and Design at Istanbul Aydın University in 2018.
Following my graduation, I joined MEES Architecture office where I had the opportunity to work on numerous projects. These projects included residential buildings, commercial complexes, public structures, and industrial facilities, as well as participation in national competitions.
Continuing my education, I obtained a master's degree in architecture from the Institute of Science at Izmir Democracy University in 2021.
Since 2024, I have been continuing my work at İriz Architecture office, which I founded.
