Hi! I’m Aybüke. I’m third year student of Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University. I like to do exercise, it feels good to push my body’s capacity. I’ve started doing pilates lately. I am also on the board of directors of the METU design society, so outside of school I usually spend my time working for the society.
Music has always been my biggest hobby. I love singing so I enjoy discovering new songs and hearing my voice in them. I usually like to sing jazz. That’s why listening and singing Amy Winehouse and Alicia Keys gives me incredible pleasure.
In my spare time, I can say that watching and following the movies and series that my friends recommend or award-winning, chatting about them and doing character analysis are among my favorite activities. Excluding the ones on the general best series list, Fleabag is the series that impressed me the most. I can say that it was a series that I liked even more after Andrew Scott entered. I also have a habit of not being able to stop reading the books after watching TV series or movies inspired by these books. Because I’m too impatient to wait for the new seasons to come out. That’s why I read Bridgerton and Shadow and Bone.
Since I was little, I have been very interested in the appearance and function of objects. After I realized this, I started to use this feature of mine more in the department. Nowadays, my interest has focused on high fashion collections and fashion shows. After watching the fashion shows of the brands, I read the comments of the professionals about these collection. That’s why I can say that the assignment I enjoyed doing the most was sunglasses. It was an assignment where I could use my fashion design knowledge and creativity more freely.
I hope we meet as soon as possible!

Hi, I’m Chiara from Team 23. I recently came across your profiles on the blog, and I just wanted to say how beautiful and engaging they are. It’s inspiring to see how you’ve shared not only your professional backgrounds but also your personal passions and interests—it adds such a unique and authentic touch. I also had the chance to review your brief proposal, and I find it truly interesting and useful. Your idea addresses the needs of the elderly in a thoughtful way, and it’s clear that it could have a meaningful impact on their daily lives. I’m looking forward to seeing how your project develops!
