After a series of happy and unpredictable events, Öykü moved from Istanbul to Montréal in 2014 and completed Concordia University's Design For The Theatre program in 2018. Since arriving in Canada she has collaborated with different artists from various backgrounds in theatre, music and dance, and toured to several countries with different shows. Öykü tries to combine her own experiences with that of her collaborators', rooted in the belief that art is a crucial step towards a better understanding among people. 
Currently she is studying Visual Arts and Curatorial Studies in NABA in Milan, IT.
