About Me:

Hi! I was born in 1994 in Istanbul and began a journey that blends technology and art. My connection to professional theatre began at GalataPerform, where I participated in the project ‘High School Teenagers Write Plays!’ This experience sparked my creativity, leading me to write my first play, “The Turkey Stone,” at the age of 16. This accomplishment earned me the title of the youngest playwright in Turkey. The play was internationally recognized and showcased at the Heidelberg Stückemarkt Theatre Festival and ran successfully at the Istanbul City Theatre from 2012 to 2016, followed by a staging at the Izmir State Theatre in 2019.

I shot my first feature documentary, ‘I’ve Found A Slogan: my mother is with me’ in 2014. I wrote the short movie ‘Ground Level’, and also became the production manager for this project. I obtained a dual degree from Istanbul Bilgi University and the University of Liverpool with a major in Computer Science; studied with full scholarship at both institutes. I have graduated from the master’s program at the IT University of Copenhagen in the Game Technology department. During my studies, I also contributed as a teaching assistant for the Programming for Designers course. My desire to explore immersive experiences led me to Makropol, where I worked as an XR developer.

I developed an award-winning gamified theatre project ‘Map To Utopia’ in collaboration with fringe-ensemble and Platform Theatre. Driven by my passion for the intersection of technology and storytelling, I am committed to crafting innovative experiences that captivate and engage audiences, both in the realm of game development and beyond.
