I was born and raised in Istanbul, Turkey, and my creative journey began with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. After moving to the U.S., I worked as a graphic designer and art director, but everything changed when my family relocated to San Francisco.

During a long hotel stay, while entertaining my young daughters with play-dough,
I discovered paper-clay — and I’ve been sculpting ever since. What started as a simple pastime became a deep passion for creating whimsical clay figurines, each with its own little soul.

​

Now an empty nester, I spend my days in my home studio, bringing tiny, magical worlds to life. My hope is that these creations find a special place in your heart, just as they have in mine.

Thank you for being here—it truly means the world to me!
