I grew up in Turkey, attended high school in Istanbul, then moved to California for Stanford. After studying computer science and architecture, I specialized in product design over the last decade at tech startups like Asana, Twitter, and Autodesk. My professional superpower is bringing clarity and mindfulness to teamwork. Attending silent retreats and practicing meditation allows me to be my best self. I know we’re inter-connected to each other and with the Earth. I bring these mindfulness practices to the teams and individuals I work with. In the wild, you can find me exploring new instruments and singing with friends!

I get great joy from supporting mentees 1on1. After all, I wouldn’t be here without all my supports! My philosophy is reminding you that you’re a whole being. My role is to support you at your growth edges and facilitate your natural unfolding process. Simple and effective, I found this kind of mentorship to unlock incredible personal, professional, and spiritual growth.
