YILDIRIM YAZGANARIKAN
I have worked as a design and innovation consultant for various architecture and design companies. Currently, I am leading two ventures - FileMap, a map-based file manager for visual thinkers, and CREO Design, a green-tech innovation company, where I lead the technology division. My focus is to bring my architecture and design background to the high-tech startup ecosystem, and manage cross-disciplinary teams. I am currently based in San Francisco and Turkey.
As the founder of FileMap, my role is to improve ideation, education, design, and innovation by enhancing our software and business operations. I invest my time in building an exceptional team of engineers and a strong network of thought leaders, artists, designers, architects, scientists, and business people to propel our interdisciplinary mission forward. Our core technology, FileMap, has enabled us to create a beautiful technology company, and we are constantly seeking new ways to expand through partnerships with local, governmental, and scientific organizations.
As a partner of CREO Design, my focus is to accelerate the transition to advanced indoor plant systems for the building industry. At CREO Design/Autodesk Technology Center, I have designed, ideated, prototyped, and led the production of sensitive plant sensors and nutrient infusion systems, shaping the future of indoor farming. This experience has enabled me to collaborate with exceptional thinkers such as Hooman Koliji, Michael O. Coop Cooper, Marc Shillum, Robinson Piramuthu, and Tanju Yazganarikan, while building a high-tech hardware start-up.
