He even started naming car types before start speaking around age 2 according to car's voices with his unknown language.In the process of growth , the idea of creating a living space outweighed.

He studied architecture and started working right away one of the best studio in Istanbul. After 2 years of hard work, he decided upgrade his profession because he was dissatisfied with the construction industry.But did not want to give up creating living space. In 2011 , he started to study at Academy of Art university 'Master of Industrial Design' program in San Francisco , for combine his profession and be qualified for the boat design.With the closure of the boat design classes due to student incompetence, he started searching for other alternatives. His drawing instructor told him secretly that he needs to change his school and go to the Italy to study Yacht Design Master and warned him not to tell anyone because he could fired from the University.

STATEMENT OF ART:
I am always searching perfect balance between aesthetic and functional system. For example, stairs shouldn't sense as a regular stairs,has to be piece of art or solid piece around its on that you can step up.

Art is explain so many things and give some nice feelings and design is mixing functional systems with piece of art and let you use or drive it!
