Ceren Bayraktaroğlu

Hi! I'm Ceren — a designer and creative entrepreneur based in Istanbul. Before launching my own brand, I spent over a decade working in the corporate world across various functions — from brand marketing, employer branding to leadership development and organizational culture. These experiences shaped my understanding of people, purpose, and design.

In 2017, I founded Timber Tales, where I create custom wooden pieces and handmade Jesmonite home décor that blend minimal aesthetics with emotional storytelling. My work is inspired by nature, simplicity, and the beauty of thoughtful details.

In recent years, I’ve also been hosting creative workshops, helping others reconnect with their creativity through hands-on, mindful making. I'm passionate about slow living, intentional design, and building a warm, inclusive creative community.

Let’s connect and create something meaningful together!
