Hi, I’m Hale!

I am a multidisciplinary designer from Turkey with a background in sociology and a certification in arts. My work stands at the intersection of art, human-centered design, and strategy, often shaped by my cultural background and the perspectives I bring from my own experiences.

Since my early university years, I have enjoyed working with communities and taking part in collaborative projects where I can combine research, storytelling, and design thinking. I am now based in New York, studying my master’s in Strategic Design and Management at Parsons School of Design, where I continue exploring creative ways to connect people, challenge systems, and imagine sustainable futures.

I also have a strong interest in the music industry and creative practices around live experiences, a passion that often inspires how I approach design.
