Women in Maritime: Hear from Nilsu

May 18th is International Women in Martime Day. Hear from our employee Nilsu, working as interior engineer and proud to be part of the maritime industry.

My name is Nilsu, and I am 28 years old. Originally, I am from Istanbul, Turkey. I pursued a university degree in Nautical Design. 

 

After graduating, I gained 2,5 years of experience as a yacht designer with leading companies in the industry before I established my own design office without any break. In my office, I managed a team of five people and oversaw various aspects of the marine industry, including product drawings, design, customer relationships, and quality control. 

 

After three years, I relocated to the Netherlands. I wanted to broaden my horizons and gain new experiences. I worked as a draftsman for nine months and then transitioned into the role of an interior engineer. 

 

Given the specialized nature of this industry, one frequently encounters familiar faces and renowned professionals, which I find particularly enjoyable. The collaborative effort of thousands of people on a single project, resulting in extraordinary outcomes, is a constant source of motivation for me in the yacht industry. 

 

I am happy and proud to be a part of this sector.
