As a child, I dreamed of growing up to be Sir Edmund Hillary or a bird, and when I wasn't up in a tree or scaling the side of my bunk bed with my mum's belts, I was drawing. I drew all over everything— the desks at school, my left hand, the wooden slats under the bed. When I discovered India ink at twelve, I realised I'd much rather draw Everest and our feathery friends. Art was now my thing, and five years later I took off for Rhode Island School of Design, where I graduated with a BFA in Illustration. Fancy degree in hand, I found myself designing ads in San Francisco, and managed to pick up some trapezing along the way.
In 2008, I submitted a shoe design to John Fluevog's Open Source Footwear, and became one of only eleven lucky people in the world to have their design made into a real shoe— my shoe was named The Mini Zaza. In my spare time, I participate in six Moly-X International Moleskine Exchanges, where artists around the world swap their Moleskine sketchbooks, creating collaborative pieces art. I'm also the Istanbul Correspondent and a board member of Urban Sketchers.
