As a lighting designer and ceramic artist based in Istanbul, Ceren’s practice is rooted in her formal training at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, where she studied Ceramics and Glass Design. She approaches design as a deep exploration of material memory, treating glass, clay, and wood not merely as mediums, but as living narratives shaped by time and devoted craftsmanship.

​

Her creative vision flows through two distinct channels. As the founder of Maiizen, she reinterprets traditional glass-blowing techniques to craft evocative sculptural lighting. Parallel to this, her independent ceramic practice focuses on hand-shaped stoneware and porcelain, investigating the raw, uncompromising boundaries of form. Across all her creations, Ceren's work remains an intimate invitation to pause, observing the quiet dialogue between light, tactile surfaces, and the natural world.

 

​Ceren's current projects include the Abyss and Asea series.
