Hello, I'm Mehmet Mehmetalioglu.
Industrial Designer & User Experience Designer who loves challenges and innovations,

which leads to a positive impact on people’s lives.
I focused on creating meaningful connections between physical and digital products through a multidisciplinary and multicultural perspective. I completed my Advanced Product Design Master’s at Umeå Institute of Design, where I developed my approach within an international context.
My work is strongly influenced by the simplicity, functionality, and elegance of Scandinavian design. By blending these principles with my own cultural background, I have shaped a distinctive design language.
Throughout my career, I have collaborated with brands such as Volvo Cars, IKEA, Whipsaw, Logitech, Samsung, Getinge, Airbus, Atlas Copco, Above, Designit, Electrolux and World Surf League, contributing to projects across mobility, healthcare, furniture, Industrial and consumer electronics. My practice goes beyond traditional product design, extending into systems, services, and experience design, with a focus on intuitive, sustainable, and long-term value-driven solutions.
At the core of my approach is a holistic understanding of user experience, where I integrate emotional, sensory, and intuitive layers. I define this approach as “Sensible Experience Design,” combining data, emerging technologies, and traditional design knowledge to create human-centered solutions.
My work has been internationally recognized with awards including Red Dot, iF Design, and Core77. I am also the first Turkish designer to receive the Braun Prize, awarded for my DTS 01 concept, which rethinks the relationship between user and technology through simplicity and accessibility.
I continue to develop forward-looking projects that explore how design can enhance everyday life and foster meaningful interactions.
