Returning to her alma mater, Fulden Dehneli recently spent 2 days with design students, in two different design classes, Tones of UX & Multi-Media Design, to share her journey and insights into the dynamic world of design, visualization, AI, and innovative tools.
Believing in the importance of mentorship, my visit aimed to inspire these aspiring designers by weaving personal stories of challenges and triumphs throughout my career. I aimed to provide a real-world perspective on the creative journey.
