I am a 26 year old married designer living in Ankara/Turkey. The absolute musts in my life are my wife, paper, pen, and my computer.

I chose the design sector because I can’t live without create something new and unique.

3. Where do you find creative inspiration?

A classic question. Everything! Nature, environment, people, friends, internet, books, movies… In short, EVERYTHING in my life.

4. If you were not a designer, what would you be doing?

As I said in my earlier interviews, I’d be a photographer. I can’t dream myself doing something that doesn’t require creativity.

5. If there is one thing in the world you couldn’t live without, what would it be?

My wife. ( I love you baby!)
