After abandoning a budding career as a musician, Aylin entered the film industry as a director"s assistant. By the age of 19 she had gone on to found and run one of Turkey"s largest and most commercially successful post-production studio, Autopsy.

Following this, she edited and supervised post-production on the American Independent Film "Crude", which went on to win the Los Angeles Film Festival and a Special Jury prize at the Seattle International Film Festival. Next Aylin found herself beckoned by the academic world, and was invited to teach and lecture at Bahcesehir University, Kadir Has University, and Bilgi University. In between lecturing and editing, Aylin collaborated with writer/director Paxton Winters to write "A Cold War".

In 2005 she left teaching to co-found the Film Collective, Vav Film Group to develop, nurture and support film and documentary projects. In the meantime she started writing her original script "Nameless" which received a development support from the Turkish Cultural Ministry. In addition to countless commercials, Aylin has edited a variety of notable feature films, documentaries and art installations.
