All About Me
My name is Ayse Seda HarunoÄŸlu, aka, ASH and I am an architect and an artist who has worked in both New York and Istanbul. I have had the privilege of experiencing two very different cultures, and I believe that this has greatly influenced both my personal and professional life.
​
My time in New York City I worked it Joseph Pell Lombardi for many years. It was an incredible experience that shaped my architectural style and approach. The city is a hub of innovation and creativity, and I was fortunate enough to work on several large-scale projects that pushed the boundaries of what was possible. Being surrounded by so many talented and driven individuals was truly inspiring, and I learned a lot about the importance of collaboration and teamwork.
​
Now that I am in Istanbul, I am excited to explore a different side of architecture. This city is full of history and culture, and I am constantly amazed by the beautiful buildings and structures that have stood the test of time. I believe that the key to successful architecture is to balance innovation with tradition, and I am eager to incorporate the unique elements of Istanbul's architecture into my work.
​
In addition to my architectural work, I am also a mixed media artist. My background in architecture has greatly influenced my art, and I enjoy exploring the intersection between the two fields. My paintings are a reflection of my passion for color, texture, and form, and I am constantly experimenting with new techniques and mediums.
​
Overall, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities I have had to experience different cultures and perspectives. I believe that this has given me a unique perspective that I bring to both my architectural and artistic work. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and my work!
