Erin Turkoglu is based in Helsinki where she completed her masters at Aalto. The calm she found in the city providing a welcome contrast both to her native Istanbul and to New York where she previously studied. In New York her studies in Industrial Design led to a craving for more hands-on, material work and this was what first drew her to Helsinki. Erin is a designer who samples, tests, makes, as little as possible is out-sourced.
