Design Philosophy


Philosophy
As a product designer my aim is to establish the multi-faceted qualities of objects, processes, services and their systems in whole life-cycles. When carrying out these issues, user's ‘accurate needs' are considered. Otherwise users sometimes wonder if this is really the product that they have truly wanted. This may led to the end of the product life-cycle without a start.

products are mirrors of my emotions, lifestyle, music etc. i generally listen trance and paul van dyk - nothing but you, sven vath - ballet fusion, scooter - trance mix no fate can define my products. they are not loud, they are calm but there is always energic part hidden in these songs. another point is that i like trance because it doesnt immitates the sounds of nature. for me if something is man made then you must express it.

love to play with colors, shapes, materials and technology when designing. i can say that process is the most important and enjoyable part for me. finally i can say that consistency can be a good clue for my design process and product.

Mission
Creating innovative solutions to satisfy the needs of all living things and supporting the teaching, learning, and research about product design.

Vision
To be recognised internationally and to be the keystone of product developement, known for both the high quality of the work and excellence of personality.
