Profile: Born in Turkey in 1958. She is a Turkish graphic designer, BA on visual communication and graphic design at Birmingham Polytechnic. She worked as an art director at Grafika Lintas, Istanbul, an established and well-respected global company. Back to England due to family commitments, she decided to do an MA course on Design Studies at Central Saint Martins School of Arts, to rediscover her creativity, and broaden her vision.

Comment on Art: 'After accomplishing my goal, I am now working as a curator after completing my year's course again at Central Saint Martins School of Arts. My first project participation, the S.E.L.F project, is with my class colleagues (from Design Studies), whom I shared great moments with over the last years, and I have enjoyed thus far. I am in charge of co-curanting the exhibition in Istanbul, Turkey. Hence due to the peculiar structure of the brief, my collaboration will be given at a multiple level of personal involvment. I strongly believe sharing different experiences and backgrounds is the key to all design solutions. I personally think that a group of people coming from all over the world is the perfect combination for success. I am truly thrilled about this project and hope you will enjoy it as much as we did creating it.'
