I’m Zeynep, an illustrator, designer and mum in London, creating illustrated objects that live between art and everyday life.

My work explores quiet moments inspired by nature and feelings.

I used to share this world with a cat named BMO, whom I loved deeply. Losing him left a deep, quiet space in my heart. So whenever you see a tuxedo cat appear in my work, it is my way of keeping him alive within me.

Each piece begins as an illustration and is carefully translated onto ceramic surfaces, becoming a small, intimate artwork. I love the idea of art living with you; Resting on a kitchen counter or quietly existing within daily rituals.

Through my work, I hope to create objects that feel personal and poetic, pieces that hold a story, a mood or a moment you can return to.

Welcome to my quiet world. I hope it feels like home.
