About

Form follows function — and sometimes, function follows curiosity.

Portrait of Bilge ERGÜN

Bilge ERGÜN

Industrial Design Student

I am an Industrial Design student at Marmara University's Faculty of Fine Arts, focused on functional, sustainable, and user-centered product design. I connect aesthetics, engineering, materials, and everyday experience through concept sketching, CAD modeling, rendering, and functional prototyping.

In summer 2025 I took two freelance projects from concept to final design — an ergonomic mouse for women working in IT, and a bouquet-making aid for florists — and in summer 2026 I joined Vestel as a design intern, working across consumer electronics, home appliances, and mobility.

I am drawn to the quiet moments of interaction — the weight of an object in the hand, the sound a lid makes when it closes — and I believe that design's most powerful act is to make the complex feel inevitable.
