About

I'm a systems designer who learns by writing things down by hand. Since 2002, I've built ventures, teams and ways of working. I founded SHERPA in 2013 to make it synonymous with UX in Turkey. We pioneered a Design as a Service model and joined forces with Paribu in 2021. Today, at Tabula Rasa, I'm building a shared workbench for people who make things, with four products so far: Clint, Brain Sauna, How They Do It and DOFOTT. I also do hands-on UX work and mentor young founders. Saint-Joseph taught me French; Atilla Aksoy taught me respect for hard work. I'm the father of Demir, Mert and Zuzu. I share what I know with radical transparency and help others find their way. Being called a Sherpa is a title I'll always carry proudly.
