About Jules

A technology founder whose work explores AI and human relationships.

The through-line across every chapter has been the same: understanding how people make decisions, form trust, coordinate and relate inside systems.

One

Psychology

A BA in Psychology at Koç University, focused on how people think, behave and relate. The interest that stayed was not the theory but the mechanics: how people actually decide, trust and coordinate.

Two

Innovation and systems

An MS in Innovation and Management at Tufts University, followed by work across design strategy, circular economy, sustainability, innovation and systems change. She founded ZERO, a circular design focused studio, and later led strategy and sustainability work at ATÖLYE, a strategic design and innovation organisation.

Three

Becoming a founder

She moved from applied psychology and organisational work into advising and designing systems, and then into building products. She joined the Antler residency, tested early concepts, and followed customer and market evidence rather than protecting one fixed idea.

Four

AI × Relational Intelligence

Since then the work has meant testing different products, running customer research and building a team around a durable question: how can intelligent technology support human relationships without displacing the judgment, trust and attention that make them valuable? The product and market direction changed as the evidence changed.

Today

Building in stealth mode

Jules is currently building in stealth mode, exploring where AI should act and where human attention, context and judgment still matter more.
