I collect vintage rugs and kilims, which hold cultural value and reflect Anatolian culture. I also repair and repurpose damaged rugs into pillow covers. Visit my vintage rug shop on Etsy: [Turkish Rug Kingdom](www.etsy.com/shop/turkishrugkingdom).
I discovered a passion for photography while working on my treatise. Instead of pursuing an academic career or publishing a book, I chose to travel, learn about diverse cultures, and document our experiences through photography.
My wife and I extensively traveled and shared our experiences through photography. Inspired by history and sociology, I started designing a collection of items with a product partner. I am a sociologist, photographer, designer, and traveler. My wife plays a vital role in supporting my designs, and I believe she has a talent for creating even better designs than me.
No regrets about my decisions. Writing alone is insufficient; I want to share my collection of handcrafted items and revive the past.
