Biz Kimiz

I am someone who founded HugLoveKiss by drawing from the traces of my 35-year life — from crowded tables, the rituals I’ve designed, and my journey in art.

Guided by the intuition that fashion and industrial design have given me, I create moments, emotions, and products that bring people together around the same table.

In a fast-moving world, I want to preserve the table as a space for gathering, slowing down, and sharing.

Now, I invite you to this table too whether on your own or with the ones you love.

To take time for yourself, to celebrate the spirit of the table, and perhaps to find that little love you’ve been looking for.

I was born in Istanbul in 1984. I completed most of my education in Istanbul and later continued my studies in Germany.

When I returned to Turkey, I worked in the finance sector for a while. Although I embraced the discipline and structure of corporate life, my desire to create was always stronger.

Discovering ceramics became the right answer to that search. The calmness of clay and the freedom that comes with creating have become my greatest sources of inspiration and continue to shape the work I do today.

As a ceramic instructor and designer, I produce the HugLoveKiss collections while also leading workshops for different age groups that support creativity and self-expression.
