Hello!!! My name is Gülşah Şimşek which is a difficult name to pronounce for foreign students, I know😊. I’m third-year student from the department of Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University which we say ODTÜ in Turkey. I live in Ankara for many years. I have a parrot whose name is Çarşı. I cannot say that I’m a bookworm but I like reading philosophy books especially Schopenhauer’s. I like also listening to classical music (my favourite is Rahmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2 in C Minor, Op.18).

If we talk about why I wanted to be a part of Global Studio, the main reason is to meet international students and understand their design perceptions. I hope, we will have a good experience for our professional lives with Global Studio. Have a good semester!!!

This me from the first year at METU
