Architectural Designer
Designing human spaces shaped by light, material, and texture.
About
Architectural designer based in Washington, DC, with a Bachelor’s degree from Yasar University in Turkey and experience in residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects.
My work combines conceptual thinking with technical development, with an interest in creating thoughtful and engaging spatial experiences.
I bring hands-on experience in concept development, 3D modeling, construction documentation, and visual presentation, with proficiency in ArchiCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Twinmotion, Lumion, Adobe Creative Suite, and Microsoft Office.
Collaborative, adaptable, and detail-oriented, I enjoy working across different scales and project types while continuing to grow both creatively and professionally. Currently on my path to licensure in the United States.
Designing for Memory
I focus on clear and restrained design, using simple lines and compositions while exploring variation through form, material, and spatial relationships. I am interested in how spaces hold stories and how design can uncover and shape these narratives through perception and experience.
I believe architecture is shaped not only by form, but by how space is experienced through light, texture, and perception.
My approach to architecture is grounded in creating thoughtful environments that balance functionality, atmosphere, and human experience. Through conceptual and technical exploration, I aim to design spaces that leave lasting impressions and create meaningful connections between people and place.
