I was born in Düzce in 1992. During my high school years, I experienced the excitement of creating new projects, trying new things, and bringing different ideas to life. I began my university journey at Dokuz Eylül University and later graduated from Özyeğin University with a degree in Industrial Engineering. Yet, I always carried within me the desire to connect with children, learning, and the nature of education. That is why I returned to the university once again and studied Preschool Education at Düzce University. I then deepened my institutional perspective with a master’s degree in Educational Administration. My studies in history and culinary arts further fueled my curiosity and passion for learning in diverse fields. Life has shown me that learning does not fit into a single discipline but grows as a branching and flourishing discovery through different paths.

Alongside my educational journey, I also encountered art. I performed as an amateur actor in chamber theatre; the stage showed me how life can be enriched through play and imagination. My interest in console and computer games kept the curious child inside me alive. Cooking, reading history, and experimenting in different fields reminded me each time of the same truth: learning is not limited to classrooms—it is possible in every aspect of life.

Today, raising our daughter together with my beloved wife is the most precious part of my life. Through her, I have learned once again to see the world of children more closely and to notice discoveries in the smallest details. Every day, my child reminds me of curiosity in its purest form. And I know that true learning sprouts from that very curiosity.

That is precisely why we founded Nadas. Because Nadas had to be a place where children could live out their curiosity freely; where learning would be intertwined with play, nature, and life itself. Everything I learned along my journey has been transformed into the spirit of Nadas.
