She started by creating a cave hotel and later set up a set up a Turkish rugs and textiles gallery called Tribal Collections. She's now considered highly knowledgeable not only on local textiles but also on many aspects of Turkish culture. Recently she branched into charity work, setting up Helping Hands to try to make a better life for the Syrian children who have arrived in Turkey.
