About Me.
Since arriving in London in 2021, my career journey has been a path of constant growth and self-discovery. Initially trained as an architect, I ventured into diverse roles—business development, coordination, sales, and operations—while pursuing my master's in Interior & Spatial Design. Each role has been a stepping stone, shaping my journey to where I am today and allowing me to witness the organic development of my varied skills and passions.
Before reaching this point, I worked as an architect in an architecture and construction company based in Istanbul, where I was responsible for the end-to-end coordination of the design, production, and delivery of turnkey projects for domestic and international retail stores of an international fragrance brand (Atelier Rebul). This role provided me with first-hand experience in operations and action, instilling qualities such as effective management, multidimensional and detail-oriented thinking, the ability to understand and coordinate the functioning of different departments, an empathetic and respectful work ethic alongside my architectural identity.
Leading my freelance interior renovation project in 2021 was immensely valuable. It allowed me to refine my FF&E skills and boosted my confidence in the field. This experience has been a continuous motivation, driving my pursuit of commission works to date, facilitating ongoing growth in these skills.
This experience proved to be a profound learning curve, enabling me to maintain unwavering focus on the project's objectives, ensuring a comprehensive grasp of all details for its seamless completion. Crucially, maintaining effective and balanced communication with clients, contractors, and suppliers at each stage was paramount for the project's smooth and planned delivery. This ability remains a valuable asset that I consistently nurture.
Upon my arrival in the UK, I discovered a passion for the furniture sector. Progressing from sales to customer service, I now hold the role of Assistant Manager for the newly opened Barbican Showroom at Furl. In this role, I oversee supply channels, production, and logistics, aligning them with our bespoke furniture business's sales processes. My meticulous attention to detail allows me to excel in operational tasks, overseeing every stage from raw material procurement to processing, logistics, presentation, and customer communication up to design delivery.
