Design is not just what it looks like — it's how it works.

I'm Gaye Koru — a multidisciplinary designer based in Kadıköy, Istanbul. With a degree in Industrial Product Design from Marmara University, I blend the physical and digital worlds to create meaningful, user-centered experiences.

Currently at Karaca as a Product Design Specialist, I craft premium brand-specific designs that fuse aesthetics, functionality, and innovation. My journey spans UI/UX design, augmented reality, 3D modeling, game UI, CGI and web application design.

I'm passionate about pushing creative boundaries through emerging technologies — from AR experiences to generative AI tools like Midjourney, DALL-E and Adobe Firefly. I'm certified in McKinsey Forward Program, Digital Leadership Academy, and various AI and gaming programs.
