Hi, I am Zeynep

UX Designer

I'm a cross-disciplinary designer, who loves engaging with people. Assumption-based decisions trigger me the most. Therefore, I thrive in user research, user tests, analyzing data and transforming it to clear insights. I’m passionate about being voice of users, aligning cross-disciplinary teams around data-driven solutions, and also being pragmatic when it’s needed. I’m interested in emerging technologies, especially AI and LLMs.
