From Istanbul’s restaurants to jungle hotels in Tulum, my work has always extended beyond architecture. What guided me was not only formal design training, but a persistent attention to how spaces make people feel; calm or alert, grounded or scattered. Early exposure to yoga and Eastern philosophies sharpened this sensitivity, revealing how deeply environments influence the nervous system.

 

Over time, this understanding became the core of my practice. I began to observe clear patterns; how light, sound, spatial flow and material choices act as signals to the nervous system, and how subtle shifts can change how a person arrives, rests or connects. Today, I work with hotels, retreats and wellness spaces, designing environments through a nervous-system lens to support regulation, ease and presence.

 

Alongside this work, I create art and installations. My art is not separate from my practice; it is how I stay in direct contact with sensation, rhythm and perception. These works explore space as something felt as much as built; shaped through movement, sound, metal and light.

 

Across all formats; design, consulting or art; the intention remains the same: to help people return to themselves through the spaces around them.
