I spoke at the re:MAKE

I got together with maker women in San Francisco on September 12 at Fort Mason Center. It was a very lively bunch and incredibly creative too! I spoke about the future of wearables as well as internet of things; and how these technologies will create an opportunity for individuals to be entrepreuners.

I also showed MICA! MICA is a bracelet which has is a jewellery piece with cutting-edge technology. And introduced Edison, our new platform to make all things smart!

Intel ve Opening Ceremony, New York’ta düzenlenen  Opening Ceremony İlkbahar/Yaz 2015 Defilesi’nde birlikte geliştirdigimiz akıllı bilekliği ilk kez sergiledik.

Gelişmiş iletişim yeteneklerinin yanı sıra eşsiz tasarımıyla kadınsı bir aksesuar olan MICA, üretim sürecinin başından sonuna kadar bir moda tasarım markası ve küresel bir teknoloji şirketinin ortak çalışması sonucunda ortaya çıktı.

Expedition into the wilderness ---of self and others

How I dealt with ‘years of myself’ in the Gobi desert

I am just back from a week in the Mongolian steppes and Gobi desert. With 12 countrymen, twelve motorbikes, and a Kazakh woman. Being a chronic solo traveller, this expedition had presented huge risks with thirteen people whom I knew almost none, had no idea on their experience of travel or life for that matter. I been immersed into creating a completely new business past eight  months in a new continent with a new team, probably eating up every ounce of risk taking, creativity, persistence, ambition and perseverance that existed in my veins. I been flooded with an adrenaline rush since November last year, getting up to a new day every day where every second every move every player had to be contemplated and executed from scratch. So how did this physical strenuous activity in mongolia that involved people I didn’t know and extreme conditions fit to that state of mind?
