I am a fashion expert with over 19 years of experience in design, education, and management. My career has evolved from hands-on fashion design roles to training the next generation as a fashion design instructor at leading institutions. I help fashion brands transform creative ideas into commercially strong, scalable, and production-ready collections. By working at the intersection of creative direction, product development, and sourcing, I bridge the gap between vision and real-world production. I specialize in activewear design and have advanced expertise in womenswear, menswear, childrenswear, and knitwear. I actively use 3D design tools to develop innovative, efficient, and production-ready collections. Throughout my career, I have collaborated with brands and organizations across Europe, including Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, and Denmark. Some of the brands I have worked with include Zara, Mango, Stradivarius, LPP Group (Reserved,mohito), River Island, Next, Peacocks, Bestseller, S.Oliver, Cache Cache, Jennyfer, phildar, Camaieu, Armantory, NA-KD, Mavi Jeans, and Koton. I served as a Design Manager at Beşiktaş Sports Club for 3 years, where I developed collections across womenswear, menswear, and childrenswear categories. During this time, I designed official jerseys for 3 seasons in collaboration with Adidas, as well as uniforms for amateur branches such as basketball and volleyball. I also created womenswear and menswear collections for the club’s activewear line. In addition to my design work, I provide design and collection consultancy for emerging brands and startups, offering creative direction, technical support, and guidance throughout the entire product development process. Based in Istanbul, I have strong connections with a wide network of manufacturers. I manage the design and sampling process end-to-end and guide projects up to the sampling stage. While I do not directly manage bulk production, I provide control and coordination support to ensure everything progresses correctly and efficiently. My technical expertise includes creating 2D technical drawings and 3D models, developing detailed tech packs, guiding fabric sourcing and selection, and defining construction techniques and hardware details. I also provide direction on print, embroidery, and other application techniques, ensuring that designs are not only visually strong but also fully feasible for production. With a strong attention to detail and the ability to guide teams effectively, I deliver innovative results that strengthen brand identity. I have extensive experience managing the full design process—from concept development and artwork creation to sampling and pre-production control. I don’t just design products; I help build systems that work. My strength lies in combining creative vision, commercial awareness, and production reality to transform ideas into collections that are not only visually compelling but also producible, scalable, and aligned with business goals. Whether you are looking for strong design, professional training, or a strategic approach to collection development, I am here to support your vision. Let’s connect and bring your fashion ideas to life.
