Hi, I’am Nazmiye.

Industrial Design Engineer and UX Designer and now Design + Change master student who is passionate about technology and trends.

I'm based in Europe and designed new experiences for Electric Vehicles.

I'm an end-to-end designer who loves solving challenging problems. Curious by nature, I love connecting with and understanding people. I get jazzed up leading in-depth user research and brainstorming solutions. Collaborating with cross-functional teams and teamwork are my jam.

As a UX designer, engineer and project coordinator I'm comfortable working on all aspects of design team management and the product cycle: from road mapping and budgets to research, prototyping journeys and crafting beautiful UI’s, all the way through to working with development teams to ensure a seamless journey to production.

My Journey

Student Life

I graduated from Industrial Design Engineering. During my university education, I was a member of the AIESEC as a business development team member.

Apart from that I also joined a student project called Quantum Electric Vehicle in a university team. My role was designing and prototyping an electric vehicle for the national races among the universities in Turkey. Thanks to this university project in my early career, I participated in national races, and also I gained the ability to finish the tasks within the given due date, based on the regulation or requirements given by the race committee. The most important ability that I gained is working within a team

Professional Life

After graduating from university, I joined the GÜNSEL Electric Vehicle project. My responsibility is development of the feature sets of the Digital Screen and Centralised Multimedia’s own HMI UX attributes from early definition through to production release following the HMI Design lifecycle process according to the regulations and functional safety. Throughout my career I focus on  human needs and behavior in technology development.

While working in a start-up company, I got a chance to gain a wide range of experience in different areas such as project management and product development. Afterward, I got a project management course and then the certification(IPMA Level-C) from International Project Management Association.

I had a chance to manage the efficient process with different engineering teams such as software, design, business, etc. I had a chance to act cross-functionally with product management, engineering and others to help create efficient teamwork. I had a chance to be an interface with well-known tier 1 companies. I am able to adapt to changing environments easily with analytical and creative thinking.
