 KAGAN ALBAYRAK

PORTFOLIO’ 19
A Rome-based qualified designer and a passionate business professional
well versed in different business sectors. My commitment to creating high
level modern and elegant design pieces allows me to create highly
versatile design projects.
With a background in Architecture and International Business, I merge my
skills in design with business knowledge. A proud alumnus of Grenoble
Graduate Business School, Berlin and Yeditepe University, Istanbul.
I believe I have acquired the talent and knowledge in the design business
thanks to the projects I participated in as a designer/junior professional as
well as the studies I have done during my bachelor’s degree in Industrial
Design and master’s degree in International Business,
My projects are inspired by my own experiences and I am continuously
traveling to discover new cultures and encounter new ideas to offer the
most modern design service.
