What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow for creative collaboration and innovation in luxury jewelry design.

I am a passionate jewelry designer with over eight years of experience in creating unique and original fine and high-jewelry pieces. My portfolio boasts more than 50 designs, each telling a story through symbolic elements and exquisite craftsmanship. I specialize in goldsmithing techniques and gemstone accents, bringing a fresh perspective to luxury jewelry through remote collaboration.

Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered bespoke designs and technical drawings for private clients and boutique ateliers across Turkey, the UAE, and Canada. My work has been recognized in various platforms, including a feature on Jewellery Design Daily for my "Hive" Open-work Cuff. I am committed to pushing the boundaries of jewelry design and am always seeking new opportunities to innovate and create.
