My work, like my life, evolves constantly. I currently split time between studios in Istanbul, where I grew up, and Barcelona. This is only the most recent pause on a path that took me through Oakland, Philadelphia, and New York. Before embracing a life as a nomadic potter, I worked in Istanbul as an interior designer. In a sense, my professional life in clay started in 2007 when I sold my first work. However, it was two years later, when I moved from a communal studio in Philadelphia to my own space in Brooklyn, that I began to call myself a ceramist.
