Passionate Entrepreneur and Business Professional with over 20 years of experience, I lead Smart Group Plastik Sanayi, a company at the forefront of innovative plastic packaging solutions, particularly for the engine oil industry. Graduating with a Master’s degree in Architecture, I have seamlessly transitioned my design skills into product innovation, focusing on merging functionality with sustainable, cutting-edge design in the plastics industry.For the past 4.5 years, I have been based in Istanbul, where I continue to lead Smart Group Plastik Sanayi in adopting circular economy principles. My role involves strategizing to reduce plastic usage through smart design and incorporating recycled materials into our production processes. Under my leadership, the company has been recognized with prestigious awards, including consecutive Red Dot Awards in 2023 and 2024, as well as the A' Design Award in 2024.I am a proud member of TMMOB, the Chamber of Architects in Turkey, which keeps me connected with my architectural roots while driving innovation in plastic design and production. Outside of my professional life, I continue to explore my creativity through painting, caricature, and storytelling, which inspire fresh perspectives in both my architectural and industrial design work.Balancing an active lifestyle with a passion for sustainability, I am deeply committed to leaving a positive environmental and aesthetic impact through our products, pushing boundaries in both the architectural and plastics industries.
