Our Story

Crafting Journey

With a strong background in tableware and home product design, İlksen TUNCA  began her career at one of Turkiye’s leading porcelain brand: Porland. She later contributed to the product development processes at English Home, and for the past 1.5 years, she has been working as Design Manager at Zsa Zsa Zsu, leading timeless collections that bring inspiration and elegance to modern tables.

​

In 2024, she took a bold step toward building her own creative universe and founded Thola Studio — a space where illustration, pattern design, and storytelling intertwine with emotional expression.

This transition allowed İlksen to blend the structured discipline of the corporate design world with the freedom and sensitivity of personal artistic exploration.
