About
With a Master of Arts degree in automotive design from Italy, following my work experience as an engineer in the interior trim department of Toyota, I combine the strengths from my multi-disciplinary background to come up with a very wide range of ideas and tackle any problems along the way.
For over 15 years, I have lived and worked in USA, UK, Belgium, Japan, and Italy pursuing my passion. As a result, I adapt very easily to new countries, environments, and cultures, and I am willing to travel anywhere where my skills and enthusiasm will be useful.
Please check my portfolio https://www.behance.net/ErenBirben for my latest work samples.
Thanks in advance. -
