Hasan Fıstıkçı was born in 1991 in a suburban neighborhood of Gaziantep, Turkey. After completing his primary and secondary education there, he attended a drawing course in Istanbul under the guidance of students of Prof. Kemal İskender. He then pursued a degree in Painting at Anadolu University in Eskişehir. During his university years, he directed Eskişehir’s promotional film, produced and directed a 12-episode documentary series on prominent Turkish artists, and published the accompanying book “12 Artists, 12 Conversations.” Alongside these projects, he contributed to numerous art initiatives. Most notably, as the project leader of “Bring Hasankeyf to Life with Your Colors”, he pioneered a significant cultural initiative in which 46 artists immortalized the historical heritage of Hasankeyf before it was submerged under water. He also collaborated with several international brands in the field of design.

After his contributions to the arts, in 2016 he became one of the co-founders of Gardrops, Turkey’s first second-hand fashion platform. As he describes, his greatest motivation with Gardrops was “to establish a sustainable system for nature and to strengthen the circular economy.” In 2017, in collaboration with the Turkish Post and Telegraph Organization (PTT), he spearheaded the development of Turkey’s first CTC shipping integration. This model has since become the standard across the entire Turkish e-commerce ecosystem, including private courier companies.

In 2020, he founded his own technology company, where he continues to focus on digital innovation and software development. He remains actively engaged in creating technology-driven projects and contributing to the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

In 2023, he returned to his hometown of Gaziantep and established a pistachio production facility. Here, he implemented modern agricultural techniques through a remote farming model, contributing to the advancement of local agricultural production.

From art to technology, and from entrepreneurship to agriculture, Hasan Fıstıkçı continues his journey with a strong focus on creativity, innovation, and sustainability.
