Sinem Hallı is an Istanbul-based industrial designer who designs products and builds the brands around them, working across glass, food, decorative, and brand design. With a background rooted in design education at Istanbul Technical University and Politecnico di Milano, and years of designing for mass production at the Şişecam Group, she creates work that can actually be made. She has received multiple national and international awards, including the iF, German, and A' Design Awards, and was selected among Design Spirit Istanbul's "40 Designers Under 40." She speaks both design and marketing, so the two sides can understand each other. A lecturer and design researcher at ITU, she works best inside constraints, finding the strongest solutions where material, production, or budget limits are tightest.
