About me
Born in London to an English Mother and Turkish Father; I grew up in Türkiye during my infant years before moving back to London for school, living there ever since.
I started modelling at age 14, when I was scouted for a child agency. At 17, I started to build my portfolio independently from agencies and organised campaigns. Frequently in the industry, I was told I was ‘too short’ to succeed - which gave me the drive to prove them wrong and bring diversification to the industry. I enjoyed the creative element of building my portfolio and directing, with experience in Beauty, Fashion, Bridal, Ecommerce, Editorial, Hair, Jewellery, Lifestyle modeling and more. I began self-managing my career, working on branding, communication, social media marketing, admin, and more. I love the flexibility of being my own boss and running my business,
I modelled part-time alongside my university degree studies from ages 18-21, studying BA (Hons) English Literature with Creative Writing (and Film) at the University of Surrey. Similarly to modelling, I chose an English degree to prove to others and myself that I could do it as a Dyslexic. In 2022 I graduated with a 2:1, and decided to pursue my modelling career full-time, as it started taking off during my time at university. By then I had already modelled for brands such as Smashbox Cosmetics, filmed commercials abroad such as Italy for a Maria B perfume commercial, and had publications and billboards worldwide. This was all done self-managing and freelance.
Since then, I have been modelling full-time, working with incredible teams and brands such as Charlotte Tilbury, Dior Beauty, and Zalando; and published in magazines such as Tatler. With my creative degree background, I often assist with lighting, directing, styling, writing, social media, content, etc when needed. I have also ventured into acting, having acted in multiple famous music videos such as Aitch and Anne Marie’s ‘Psycho’ and commercials internationally.
I’m now both signed with agencies on non-exclusive contracts and I work freelance, as I enjoy working for myself and running my own career. I’m extremely passionate about bringing diversity to the industry and creating space for petite models to be included.
Additionally, I love to create modelling, fashion, and beauty content on my Instagram and TikTok, with a combined following of 30k+ followers. I often create UGC content for brands looking for models to add that touch of professionalism.
In my spare time, I continue to explore my creative writing passions. I’ve recently started writing articles on my Substack account, which will be viewable on the ‘Blog’ section of this portfolio website soon. Additionally, I am currently working on a creative piece in talks with publishers.
