I am a Relationship Manager at Placemaking AI, working with real estate owners, developers, and asset managers to bring advanced visitor-insight technology into their day-to-day decision-making. I was born in Boston, have a Turkish background, and lived in New York City for many years, where I graduated from Columbia University.

I’ve always been passionate about understanding people - how they move through places, what shapes their experiences, and how those behaviours can guide smarter, more human-centred real estate strategies. At Placemaking AI, I focus on helping our partners use innovative tools in a way that respects the traditional foundations of the industry while opening the door to more data-driven, future-ready outcomes.

I’m genuinely excited about the work we do and about supporting teams as they evolve their assets, strengthen competitiveness, and ultimately create places that people truly connect with.
