About
Damla Soyer is a multidisciplinary designer and creative director exploring the boundaries between body, object, and system.
Her work exists at the intersection of industrial design, fashion, sound, and speculative philosophy, where material becomes a language of transformation.
Through her ongoing research project and brand XULT, she examines how objects act as prosthetics of identity and how rituals of making can embody the post-human condition.
Moving fluidly between digital fabrication, visual design, and sonic direction, her practice merges precision with emotion, translating invisible states (memory, belief, metamorphosis) into tangible form.
Each project becomes both an artifact and a myth, an attempt to archive the becoming of new anatomies.
Based in Seoul, she is currently developing “Rituals of Becoming,” a multi-phase collection and campaign exploring transformation through 3D-printed body objects, editorial narratives, and sound.
