  Book writer

  On a solo backpacking adventure across Latin America, I traversed 12 countries over eight months and committed myself to learning Spanish, reaching an upper-B1 level of proficiency. Inspired by the rich tapestry of experiences and insights gained, I penned a book in Turkish detailing the history, politics, lifestyle, and culture of Latin America. To give back, I've pledged 20% of the book's proceeds to support children's education when purchased via my website at www.OgulcanTemiz.com/book.Taking charge of the publication process was imperative after encountering subpar work from the publishing house. This comprehensive effort involved rectifying editorial errors, employing Adobe tools like InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator for design, choosing paper quality, selecting a printing service, and marketing the book to bookstores previously beyond its reach. Essentially, I managed every facet of the project, ensuring a seamless journey from concept to reader. Show less

  Master degree research

  For my graduation thesis and project in collaboration with Lonely Planet, I embarked on a comprehensive research endeavor aimed at examining consumer behavior and identifying strategies to transition 'old media' products like published books and TV broadcasts into 'new media' formats. This project centered around a case study of 'Lonely Planet' travel guides, which experienced a notable decrease in profits due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By delving into consumer needs and communication trends, I sought to understand the shifts in human behavior and adapt the brand to align with the evolving sales dynamics in the market. Show less

  Researcher

  As part of a collaborative effort with a private company and a municipality in Netherlands, our six-month project focused on addressing the urban heat island effect in the Netherlands resulted in significant community engagement and educational outreach. We developed a smart plant pot, an innovative tool designed to raise environmental awareness among homeowners, alongside an educational campaign and website. My role was central to the technical development and promotional efforts, involving the selection and assembly of electronic components, coding, and the creation of marketing materials.In addition to my technical contributions, I was deeply involved in the research and educational aspects of the project. This included exploring advanced 3D printing technologies to optimize our prototype and engaging in the writing and proofreading of articles on climate change. Through these efforts, I contributed to a project that not only addressed an environmental issue but also fostered a sense of community and a commitment to sustainability. Show less
