Our Story
On a fall evening, at the Sheraton Commander, just a few steps away from Johnston Gate, met Ecem and Umar. Two people who had no idea they were about to become each other's favorite coincidence. She arrived with a quiet love for neurons, novels, and coffee strong enough to start a revolution; he showed up thinking about exploits, systems, and whether he could turn a conversation into a magic trick. Although they might not have thought of their love as instant (it was), it was indeed inevitable.
Cafés became their neutral ground, where sweets and ideas were shared freely, and where Umar occasionally tried (successfully) to impress Ecem with sleight of hand. Somewhere between the jokes and the science, they realized they weren’t just studying the world, they were building one together. Join us as we begin our forever in the magical city where continents meet, where ancient history whispers through every street, and where cats roam wherever they please.
