Skills:
I am highly proficient in SketchUp modeling, SketchUp V-Ray rendering, AutoCAD, Photoshop, 3ds Max, and Corona rendering. I have extensive experience with residential and cafe projects, allowing me to work efficiently and effectively in these areas. Throughout my career, I have been involved in every aspect of these projects, from conceptual design to furniture production, ensuring that each project is unique, creative, and tailored to the client’s vision.
Additionally:
After graduating from Bilkent University’s Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design in 2017, where I completed my studies with English-medium instruction at a C1 proficiency level in just 3.5 years, graduating half a semester early, I began my professional career as an Interior Architect and Project Manager at Dortek’s Ankara Regional Office. Here, I actively participated in numerous processes for residential projects over 1,000 m², from kitchen, bathroom, and cabinetry design to construction site supervision. My keen interest in project management, detailed designs, and implementation processes further fueled my desire to focus on the finer details of design.
Shortly after, the design discipline and passion I had cultivated during my university years led me to work on more boutique projects. Consequently, I joined the team at Beliz Görgül Interiors. During this period, we designed the homes and restaurants of renowned figures in Turkey. My role extended beyond office-based design work to include construction site supervision and the preparation of implementation drawings. Creating personalized solutions for each project and reflecting the unique spirit of spaces became one of the most exciting aspects of this journey.
From the very beginning, my goal has been to bring a fresh and unique perspective to the field of interior architecture and to establish my own design language. Thanks to my innovative vision and attention to detail, I succeeded in making a notable impact within the industry in a short period of time. Driven by this experience and passion, I founded Manaz Interiors in 2019.
At Manaz Interiors, we approach interior architecture not only as an aesthetic endeavor but also with a strong focus on functionality. In every project, our aim is to offer personalized and unique solutions that enhance our clients’ quality of life. At every stage of the design process, we strive to exceed expectations and give each project its own distinctive identity.
At the heart of our philosophy lies the creation of spaces that not only serve as living environments but also tell their own stories. We believe that every design should reflect its history and establish a meaningful connection with its users. Our comprehensive approach encompasses all stages of design and implementation. By merging aesthetics with functionality, we reinterpret contemporary design lines in a unique style. Our goal is not only to create beautiful spaces but also to craft environments enriched with memories that enhance the user experience.
In addition to this, I serve as a jury member at Bilkent University. Furthermore, I provide individual consulting services for interior design firms based in Ankara and Istanbul, focusing on both design and implementation. Alongside my English proficiency, I have also taken introductory courses in German and Italian, expanding my linguistic and cultural perspective.
