Hi! I’m Cemre Ilgaz, though I go by Ilgaz mostly. Im a fourth year Industrial Design student in METU. I live in Ankara currently, in the capital city of Turkey. I enjoy my life here, a lovely city with four blaring seasons and countless activities and places to attend. You would be surprised how many curious little things are hidden beneath the layers of the city.

Some of my favourite things in the world is to experience other cultures, to co-exist and become aware in that moment how similar yet different we are as people. Feeling one with the world, but still a stranger… This is one of the reasons I wanted to take this course, to interact with people from diverse backgrounds.

Other than the time spent on school assignments and projects, I like to keep busy and always have personal projects going on. My hobbies include art/illustrations, hand crafts like knitting and sewing, and creating whatever inspires me at the time! I do not put a definition on what I do, if it makes me feel happy or hyped up, I dive in. Below are some of my recent artworks and a little bit of me, for you to get to know me better.

I believe magic and excitement can be found anywhere and for anyone as long as we wish to find it.
