We believe every design task is unique within its environment and requires a unique approach to create a desired and satisfactory outcome...
Studio Fandam is a creative design studio founded by Handan Akyürek, an architect and illustrator with a diverse background in spatial design and visual storytelling. We view design as an interactive playground — a space where ideas, people, mediums, and platforms converge, offering infinite possibilities.
Rather than applying a fixed workflow to every project, we tailor and reorganize our tools to match each task. This flexibility is at the heart of our creative process, allowing us to stay curious, experimental, and responsive.
We embrace both analog and digital methods, blending architectural thinking with illustration, research, and making. Each project becomes a dialogue, shaped by its context, the people involved, and the questions it raises. We aim to create meaningful and imaginative outcomes that reflect the unique conditions from which they emerge.

Handan Akyürek, MSc Architect, Visual Artist & Founder
Handan graduated from YTU in 2015. After practicing architecture in Istanbul, Helsinki, and Malta, she completed her master’s at METU in 2023 with a thesis on stigmergy and machine learning.
Her practice follows a hybrid methodology, merging architectural precision with the visual arts. She explores "spatial record-keeping" through analog photography and embroidery. Her work has been featured at Lokal 02 (Eldem Art Space) and Manifold.
Operating as a freelance designer since 2019, she established Studio Fandam in 2024. For her artistic portfolio, visit handanakyurek.com, or see her resume for professional credentials.
