Hi! I’m Yağmur, my name means “rain” in Turkish,I like to think it reflects my personality:) I’m currently in my third year of Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University. I love keeping active, which is why I’ve thrown myself into capoeira recently. I started just last semester, but I’ve already earned my first belt, and I’m hooked on the acrobatics and gymnastics side of it. Plus, capoeira’s unique musical instruments are a whole other world that really fascinates me.
Music has always been part of my life. I play the accordion—it’s a bit of a family tradition, so it’s something I cherish. Am I a pro? Definitely not, but I enjoy learning. This summer, I added a new instrument to my collection and started guitar (on a beginner level, let’s be real).
In my downtime, you’ll probably find me binge-watching movies or series. Bojack Horseman is my all-time favorite. I can’t sit still for long, which is why I love crocheting or sketching while enjoying a movie. Mixed media really grabs my attention—it’s such a fun way to combine physical textures with digital elements and make something that feels unique.
As a designer, I’m all about exploring new fields and blending them together. Last semester, I created a light unit inspired by nature using biomimicry, and it was such a fun challenge to merge creativity with nature. I love working with my hands and getting a feel for the materials—though I appreciate the digital world, there’s something special about the tactile side of design that I just can’t let go of.
