Interaction Designer | San Francisco, CA
ABOUT
I'm Eylül. For the last 14 months I've led design at an early-stage company, turning research into real features, designing across mobile and desktop, and building design systems I'm proud of. I studied at Minerva, living across cities around the world before landing in San Francisco, where I earned my master's in Interaction Design.
I make apps and physical products, and I can build them with code. I like problems that live between the screen and the real world. I believe the best work happens when people build together, not alone.
Outside design, I roast coffee and write.
