My name is Mert Kantul. I’ve spent the majority of my life in Istanbul, Turkey. As a freshman in high school, I moved to the United States and spent 4 years in a boarding school in Santa Barbara. My interest in fashion grew with being a shoe collector and it grew out of shoes into the fashion industry. My journey through the fashion world has been remarkable.

My academic path has been filled with transformative experiences that have deepened my understanding of the fashion industry and helped me discover my true identity as a designer. I've had the privilege of designing and creating collections of garments and working with well-known designers on projects. Collaborating with well-known designers and formally presenting my work have been pivotal in my growth—brands such as Under Armour and Amiri. I also had the privilege of Working With Activision Blizzard and B. Ackerlund.

My educational background has equipped me with the essential skills to excel in fashion. I've sharpened my abilities in fabric sourcing and the art of using these materials in my designs without overwhelming them. Over the years, I've learned to delicately balance and blend classic silhouettes with innovative materials, knowing when to add flair or embrace subtlety. My decision-making skills have evolved significantly over time. What sets me apart as a potential member of your team is my unyielding dedication to achieving outstanding results through the creation of expressive designs. I firmly believe in the power of teamwork, recognizing that it brings together a symphony of unique talents and qualities. The thrill of collaborative ideation and the realization of a shared vision motivates and excites me. Witnessing the collective success of those around me is as rewarding as my achievements.
