Zeynep Arslanoğlu
Architect
Summary
I would describe myself as someone who knows how to get back up after setbacks, brings positive energy to any environment, demonstrates leadership in group settings, and is hardworking and eager to learn. I believe that design has the power to create small but unforgettable moments in people's lives. My education journey taught me not only to create buildings but also to craft spaces that tell stories, evoke emotions, and make people feel. I see architecture as a way of thinking and aim to develop projects that build meaningful connections between spaces and people. I am open to new collaborations, inspiring projects, and continuous learning journeys.
