I’m a Computer Science student with a minor in Psychology, exploring the intersection of design, technology, and human behavior. I’m especially interested in how trust, safety, and emotional perception shape the way people interact with digital systems. My goal is to design experiences that are not only functional, but also empathetic, ethical, and grounded in real human needs.

I’m drawn to projects that deal with sensitive or high-impact contexts, where design decisions directly affect people’s sense of safety, clarity, and confidence. I enjoy using research and behavioral insight to turn complex problems into simple, thoughtful interfaces.

Experience

UX Design Project · Easy Rescue (Kırmızı Işık)

Designed an emergency response application for women facing violence.

Focused on speed, discretion, and trust in high-risk situations where traditional usability patterns are not always sufficient. This project shaped my interest in safety-critical and ethically responsible design.


Junior UX Designer · Vivelon (Wellness E-commerce Platform)

Worked on trust- and reassurance-driven user experiences.

Conducted user research, built personas, and designed interaction flows that integrated community insights and expert guidance to support confident, low-pressure decision making.


Volunteer Mentor · Ders Ortağım

Supported visually impaired students preparing for university exams.

This experience strengthened my understanding of accessibility, inclusive communication, and how systems often fail to consider diverse user needs.
