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.

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!!!

Heyy, I’m Deniz Küçük, I’m a 3rd-year industrial design student at Middle East Technical University. I’m living in Ankara, Turkey. Ankara is the capital city of the country. So, there are many government institutions in the city. And, the city is really cold in winters.

 I really like going to some small coffee shops in Tunalı, the upper part of Ankara, especially when the snow comes into the town, seeing swans in the famous park in Tunalı makes me really happy.

I’m currently interested in analog photography. And, I really have enjoyed watching and talking about festival movies ( which can be boring sometimes for most people 🙂 ) So, I want to get involved in the film industry for my future plans, maybe I can advance in a field where cinema and design are common.
