Indifference towards people and the reality in which they live is actually the one and only cardinal sin in design

Hello!

I'm Derya—Senior Product Experience Consultant at CTS with a passion for untangling complexity and driving strategic impact.

With a multidisciplinary background spanning aviation, tech, retail, and nonprofit work, I bring a systems-level mindset to experience strategy, research, and product design. From streamlining tools at Boeing to enhancing candidate experience at Amazon, I’ve learned how to bridge the gap between user needs and business goals, especially in fast-moving, high-stakes environments.

Whether I’m leading user research, shaping strategy, or mapping intricate journeys, I’m energized by turning chaos into clarity.

When I’m not deep in research, you’ll find me chasing speed, sunshine, and the perfect croissant—with my pets as the unofficial team members.

Let’s collaborate, problem-solve, or just grab a coffee and swap ideas.
