About Dee
I'm a product designer based in Toronto, Canada with over 10 years of experience. I joined iotum corp in 2021 as Product Design Lead. I have been working with the fantastic product team to provide exceptional video experiences to today’s hybrid workforce. Over my career, I have worked on a variety of products and projects across the retail, e-commerce, consumer health & wellness, and fintech/insurance industries. An advocate for user-centric thinking to enable my team to design simple solutions to complex business problems, I'm driven to create amazing product experiences by transforming data and insights into predictive and proactive experiences. I have had the chance to work with exceptional teams, startups and small-businesses and amazing, talented people in Canada, Europe and the Unites States.
Originally from Istanbul, Turkiye, I now live in Burlington, ON with my family. When not designing user experiences, I can often be found experimenting with new recipes in my kitchen or reading a political thriller.
