Hi!
I'm Ece. As a UX/UI designer, I've taken part in several projects spanning e-commerce to healthcare since I gained my degree in Product Design in 2017. With a recent master's degree in Interaction Design from Malmö University, I'm currently engaged in volunteering at the ReDI School of Digital Integration Malmö, where I organise and lead UX/UI design courses tailored to empower women to acquire tech skills. I describe myself as curious, eager to learn more and social. Apart from work and learning new things, I like chess, tennis and drawing flowers.
