In this enticing conversation, Ayse shares the philosophy behind her design principles and how she uses her design process to create a meaningful life.
“Life, just like a design problem, is full of constraints — time, money, age, location, and circumstances. You can’t have everything, so you have to be creative to make what you want and what you need co-exist. This requires thinking differently, like a designer. – Ayse Birsel
