Hello! I am Zeynep
Product Designer
I bring human-centered design expertise, deep cross-functional collaboration, and inspired vision to an array of complex problem spaces --- taking features and products from whiteboard to reality.
About me
I'm a product designer who's passionate about research and understanding the people and environments I'm designing for. I enjoy connecting with people to connect dots and to create designs that generate a real positive impact in communities.
I create narration/scenerios and use them as a tool and as a way of showing my thoughts about shapes, forms and prototypes. This provides me look archi-social problems beyond myself. I strongly believe that narration brings out the potentials of experimental events and performative actions in everyday life.
After I studied architecture I decided to change my field and studied Service Design at Politecnico di Milano. I believe my ability to adapt my architecture skills to services. I am excited to be at this pivotal transition point in my design career and I am ready to make the jump into the service design world.
