About
My work has taken many different forms over the years, but there is a common thread running through most of it: transformation.
I am interested in what something is, what it could become, and how it can be transformed into a better version of itself.
My background in philosophy and logic, particularly my interest in philosophy of science, shaped the way I approach this question. I tend to look for patterns, question assumptions, and understand the underlying structures and relationships before considering what could be changed or created.
This way of thinking has followed me into film, technology, entrepreneurship, and photography. Over time, I realized that I naturally think in systems. Whether developing a film, a digital product, or an entirely new project, I look at how its different elements, including ideas, people, technology, experience, and values, interact and how they can be brought together to create something meaningful.
Technology became one of the tools that allowed me to turn ideas into working products and platforms. Film gave me another language through stories, characters, and imagined worlds. Entrepreneurship enabled me to initiate projects, build companies, and bring together the people and resources needed to make them real.
I spent many years living and working in Zurich and New York, where I established companies, developed projects, and collaborated with talented people from different countries and disciplines. I am currently based in Istanbul, but my work is international. Projects are rarely defined by where I happen to be.
When an idea calls for it, I bring together creative and technical talent around the project. For me, building a system can also mean building the team around it.
I am particularly drawn to unusual ideas and niche problems where the answer is not immediately obvious. I am interested in projects that question the existing model, introduce new possibilities and values, and create a positive change for the people they are intended for.
The medium may change, but the underlying question remains much the same:
What could this become, and how can we make it better?
