Pauline Akyurek, Turkey
Passionate about creating Ebru - a traditional Turkish art of creating colorful petite canvases, Pauline finds solace in crafting unique and meaningful pieces.
Pauline's expertise lies in embellishing fine necklaces, earrings, and rings with her signature Ebru patterns. The creative process is intricate, and demands a lot of time. Each creation is a testament to her dedication, as she pours her soul into every piece, guiding her needle to coax imagery onto the canvas.
Arriving from Turkey in late 2016 due to political reasons, Pauline joined the SisterWorks’ Entrepreneur Program through a friend’s recommendation. It was here that she channeled her artistic talents and established her brand, while also working on her English proficiency.
Pauline's brand Bijouniq is an extension of her aspirations. Collaborating with SisterWorks has instilled in her much needed confidence, fostering an environment where challenges are conquered with freedom and assurance.
