About

I am working on the REDUCE – Rethinking Everyday Plastics project as a part of my PhD at OsloMet, Department of Product Design. REDUCE is a research project, led by Consumption Research Norway at OsloMetropolitan University, that will look at plastics from a systems perspective and investigate how the consumption of plastic products in everyday life can be reduced.

I have a masters degree from the Department of Industrial Design at the Middle East Technical University (METU). I also worked as a research and teaching assistant in the same department for three years. My masters thesis, Sustainable design implications for alternative food networks: A case on Güneşköy community supported agriculture (CSA) model, explores the CSA model of an ecovillage initiative through the lenses of design for sustainability and social innovations, creative communities, and community-based design.
