« Gizem was a very valuable and enthusiastic team member in HOK. She is talented designer and finally but by no means least an exceptionally pleasant individual to work with.

Architect & Lecturer, with 7 years of experience in famous architectural practices and academia gives mentoring and coaching sessions

Methodology

I provide coaching sessions to the students in the Architecture field as a professional and a former lecturer in order them to get some clarity of their direction in their career. I believe there is a huge gap between architecture education and professional life. I witnessed young graduates losing their best years struggling to understand where to place their talents or how can they create a path out of their interests that will also serve them financially.
I am here to help and assist young architect to ask the right questions and guide them with my experience to find the answer. I believe getting clear and focusing on the goal that is aligned with one's true nature will provide a great sense of stability and speed in the career progress.

Experience

I am an Architectural Designer working as a professional with 7 years of experience in famous architectural practices and University Universities. I run my own architecture company last 2 years alongside. I have vast amount of knowledge in working in corporate firms, academy and directing my own studio.

John

Gizem was a very valuable and enthusiastic team member in HOK. She is talented designer and finally but by no means least an exceptionally pleasant individual to work with. She has a strong academic background with years of teaching experience which we had a use of it at HOK. I highly recommend her as a tutor, designer and professional.

Chris

Having worked with Gizem at HOK where she was involved in large scale projects I would definitely say she has vast amount of knowledge and experience as a designer. She has also years of experience teaching to undergraduates and postgraduates. I would definitely recommend her as a tutor.

Tuğrul

Gizem is knowledgeable, patient and disciplined in her field. She taught geometry and computer courses at the university level. She is a professional who can constantly improve herself.

Emre

I found the chance of working with Gizem in the same computational design team at Aecom in London and she can surely unlock the potential ways of any modelling, presentation techniques within short period digitally and physically. Any software has many tools, Yet Gizem has the key skillsets that will enable to reach your goals in your projects within your imagination and how to control them.
