My Story
"I time travel and tell stories"
From a young age, I was captivated by how technology could enable us to accomplish the unimaginable. This led me to pursue a degree in electrical and electronics engineering, where I honed my skills in programming and electronics. Along the way, I became a founding member of various clubs and organizations, which helped me develop my leadership and teamwork abilities.
After graduating in 2021, I eagerly explored the potential of emerging technologies. I took several design courses to learn how to create intuitive and engaging experiences.
I began hands-on experiments:
-
DALL E experimental model: As an alpha tester, I was in a group of about 100 individuals globally to try out this AI model.
-
HUG x stability.ai INNOVATION LABORATORY: It sparked a realization: my art isn’t just about creation; it’s about sharing my story and empowering others.
-
TikTok Effect House Accelerator Program: 6-week journey, packed with AR workshops, TikTok content creation strategies, and it was organized for the first time.
-
Meta Spark Studio Creator Camp: Participant in Summer 22' which is the first one.
-
Lenslist: Four of my projects were featured in their weekly selections (#110,#112,#124,#140), showcasing the innovative use of this platform.
-
LTX Studio, DALL E 2, Adobe Firefly, Luma AI, Runway Gen-1, and Gen-2: I've enjoyed the chance to experiment with these platforms in their early stages.
-
Wonder Dynamics: I was part of the closed beta for this exciting project, one of my experiments.

Some the digital corners, about me:
"Ayca Turan started as an enthusiastic translator and workshop assistant at the Bursa Science Expos and AstroFest. She developed her own workshop, act as a teacher and manage a small student team to meet our high educational standards.
She proved to be flexible. While teaching a workshop for students aged 10-14, she was able to discuss workshop principles with parents and teachers.
Ayca knows how to balance being creative/innovative with meeting deadlines to deliver a good performance."
Team member
"Ayça is an exceptional leader adept at uniting people and fostering strong bonds. As the cohesive force within our diverse sports team, she inspired us to establish a lasting culture.
Despite various leaders with different titles and backgrounds, Ayça held our team together seamlessly. Her presence, akin to the mayonnaise in a tuna sandwich, synergized our strengths and elevated our teamwork.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ayça for any team or organization seeking a dynamic leader who promotes teamwork, culture, and outstanding results."
