  Service & Product Designer

  At ATÖLYE, I designed and developed service experiences that met customer and stakeholder needs. I worked with cross-functional teams, including product managers, developers, and UX researchers, to make sure we delivered high-quality experiences.Projects I worked on include;* Electrical Vehicle HCI: Through user research, we uncovered the ins and outs of what the drivers wanted in a ride. We then came up with UX and UI design, aimed at making their time behind the wheel as smooth as possible. The end result? A digital environment tailor-made for electric car enthusiasts.* Community + Space Activation: We designed a service that brings together startups, multinational corporations, and the government to activate the community, with the help of architectural design. The project involved extensive user research to understand the residents and their needs, creating a roadmap to activate the community, and revamping the architectural design of the area to improve the overall experience for residents and visitors.

  Neol

  As a product manager at Neol, I provided development and execution of our product strategy for Neol's Talent Marketplace. I worked with cross-functional teams, including designers, developers, and sales, to make sure we delivered high-quality products that met customer and business needs. As the first Product Designer of Neol, I designed and launched the company's website using no-code development tools. It was a challenging but fulfilling experience to create a user-friendly interface that showcased Neol's unique features and benefits, and launch it in a timely manner. Working closely with the rest of the team, we were able to launch a successful website and helped establish Neol's brand identity in the industry.
