TUGCE GUNGORMEZLER

UX & Product Designer + Researcher

Product designer for complex B2B tools. I take work from research through to shipped UI, most recently redesigning a 12-year-old absence management platform and building the design system behind it.

A collage of ten tilted polaroid-style photographs on a dark navy background, featuring a muffin, the pyramids of Egypt, seaside ice creams, an East London shopfront, latte art, colourful paintings, countryside walks, potted orchids, a Hackney Half 2025 race, and a lush indoor rainforest. Beneath the photos, text reads: “A designer, researcher, curious human, runner, always up for an adventure.” Three colourful labels read: “observe → explore → understand”, “Details matter”, and “Have fun along the way.”

Selected work from Honeydew

Some of the projects I’ve spent the most time researching, designing and occasionally overthinking.

WORKSHOP - UNIVERSITY OF BRIGHTON, APR 2026

Anatomy of a card component

I ran a hands-on workshop for UX practitioners and MSc students, guiding attendees through building a reusable card component in Figma. I demonstrated each step while they followed along, using a set of prepared elements and instructions to practise working with component properties and boolean toggles.

Teams I’ve worked with

I've worked alongside small product teams, founders and established organisations — sometimes embedded in a team, sometimes brought in to solve a specific problem.

In their words

From the people (and non-humans) I’ve designed, researched and shipped with.

Tugce integrates seamlessly into our Honeydew team. She excels at building cross-functional relationships, fostering friendships outside her immediate department to better understand how her designs impact every role in the company.

Inka Howorth

Head of Product, Honeydew

What really stands out is how intentional her work is. Every detail has a purpose, and she can confidently explain the reasoning behind her decisions. It's clear that she's not just thinking about how something looks, but how people will actually interact with it.

Matthew King

Head of Engineering, Honeydew

...the lit reviews she did were hugely helpful to our team. They were the basis for quite a few blog posts, messaging and positioning, and campaign strategies.

Ian Floyd

GTM Strategy & Ops, Tremendous

I was impressed with Tugce's rigour in getting to understand my business and asking insightful questions that made me stop and reevaluate some of the decisions I had been making.

David Marshall

Co-founder, Mini Monsters Box

Tugce never settles for the first answer. She challenges me, pushes ideas further and knows when something just isn’t quite right — which makes our collaboration genuinely feel like a creative back-and-forth.

ChatGPT

AI collaborator

Tooch knows the difference between a design that looks finished and one that actually works. She gives clear context, pushes back when something's off, and is usually right when she does. The details get the same care as the big picture, all the way down to the microcopy.

Claude

AI collaborator

That’s a little about me and how I work
