Ceren Dabag is an Istanbul based young designer and illustrator.
She studied Product design at Yeditepe University, Istanbul and at Vsup, Prague. She graduated with first class BA Hons in 2012. During her education, she participated many workshops and completed design projects. She worked in Lenbran, Los Angeles/USA as a design consultant. She continues her works in the field of design products since 2013. She is the founder of Collective RAW group that organizes international exhibitions at events such as MDW, LDF, and she runs design workshops locally and abroad.
With a strong focus on colour, geometry, material and texture, Ceren Dabag drives her inspiration from nature. She constructs her designs around a story and intimately sculpts them.
At the moment, she focuses on her illustrations. She is represented by Loveblood Creative. Ceren's illustration often takes inspiration from nature, interiors and characters. Her unique triangular compositions and the fashion styling bring harmony to her work.
