I used to live in Istanbul, Turkey. Currently, I live in Austin, TX. I have three years of experience in automation and manual testing for web-based products as a software test engineer. It made me good at recognizing possible confusion for users and seeing opportunities for better use. My deep interest in human center design thinking guided me to switch my career. In the last year, I worked on two end-to-end projects, a design sprint, and a collaborative, client-led project, with weekly mentorship from a senior product designer.

What I'm passionate about is solving problems that users struggle with while they interact with the product or service and creating apps that people like, which mean simple, user-friendly, and attractive. I’m currently looking for remote jobs that fit my skills and I am so excited to apply what I’ve learned in this course to the real world. 

When I am not designing, you might find me playing with my cat Muhtar, cooking & tasting, or challenging myself with elliptical workouts.
