About

Ezgi spent eight years in humanitarian protection work with organizations including UNHCR, IOM, and various NGOs focused on refugee response. She holds an M.S. in Gender and Women's Studies from METU and a B.A. in Philosophy from Bilkent University. After a period of unemployment, she built BloomDay from scratch using AI tools — designing every plant, directing every feature, and building the website and marketing entirely on her own. No CS degree, no coding bootcamp, no team. Just determination. Her humanitarian background (figuring out what people need, working with limited resources, staying composed when things break) turned out to be surprisingly transferable to product development.

BloomDay: Tasks & Garden - Finish your tasks. Grow real gardens.

BloomDay is a task planner where completing tasks earns seeds that grow a virtual garden. I built it because every productivity app I tried was too overstimulating: too many colors, buttons, features. As someone with ADHD, I'd get lost inside the app instead of doing my tasks. BloomDay is deliberately calm: a minimal interface where nothing dies if you miss a day. Water your plants, complete your tasks, watch your garden grow.
