TurkeyWhat I'm looking for
I am a dedicated fashion designer and illustrator based in Istanbul, Turkey, with a strong background in teaching and hands-on experience in the fashion industry. Currently, I serve as a Teaching Assistant at Vakko ESMOD Istanbul, where I support the Traditional/Digital Coordinator and the Head of the Pattern Making Class. My role involves facilitating communication between students and instructors, ensuring a smooth learning experience in fashion illustration and design.
My journey in fashion began with an internship at Vakko’s Atelier, where I gained valuable insights into the wedding dress and night gown departments. I assisted pattern makers and learned the basics of Gerber Accumark, enhancing my technical skills. Additionally, I have experience in styling and technical design, working on projects like the W Collection for Maison Concept. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge, which is why I also teach Adobe Illustration and Photoshop to students at ESMOD Istanbul.
