DE’SIGNIFICANT – ZEHRA
Hey there! My name is Zehra, and I’m currently studying Industrial Design at Middle East Technical University (METU) in Ankara, Turkey. Along with that, I’m pursuing a minor in Production Engineering, since I’ve always been curious about how creative ideas turn into real, tangible products. The name “Zehra” means bright, pure, and flower in Turkish and Arabic. I’m someone who loves exploring new places and capturing moments through photography. Traveling always inspires me — I enjoy observing colors, forms, and textures wherever I go. I think these small details often find their way into my design work later on. I’m also passionate about art, exhibitions, and museums. I find it fascinating how objects and spaces can tell stories about culture, time, and human experience. Visiting museums or local art events is one of my favorite ways to recharge and find inspiration. At METU, I spend most of my time between the faculty and the green corners of the campus. It’s a place that constantly inspires creativity and collaboration. I love those long design sessions with friends that end with laughter, and too much coffee. When I’m not working on projects, I enjoy playing tennis, reading, and playing lego. My favorite book is Martin Eden by Jack London — it’s a story about ambition, self-discovery, and following your passions, which really resonated with me. And one of my favorite serie is Cassandra which i really enjoyed. It’s full of suspense, mystery, and interesting twists about technology and human relationships. I’m excited to keep exploring, creating, and sharing the things that inspire me, and I look forward to the adventures ahead. Feel free to reach out or connect with me — I’d love to share ideas and inspirations!Linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/zehra-yılmaz-Instagram: @zehrayymaz
