ASLIHAN DONMEZ

Currently in my final year at Aalto University's School of Arts, Design and Architecture, I've spent the past four years obsessing over the space where material meets intention. My work sits at the intersection of furniture design and consumer electronics — objects you live with daily.

I believe design should be honest about its materials. Every project begins with understanding how something will be made — and unmade. Sustainable manufacturing isn't a constraint; it's a creative framework that leads to more considered, more human outcomes.

My process is rooted in hands-on prototyping, user research, and a deep respect for craft traditions. I'm seeking an internship where I can bring this perspective to a team working on products that matter.
