Not too long ago, Cigdem decided to ditch her corporate job as an Art Director in Istanbul in order to pursue her passion in handcrafted jewelry design. Equipped with the creative skills she gained as an Art Director and a fierce drive to succeed, she packed a single suitcase and moved to the fashion epicenter of the world, New York City.
She enrolled in the Fashion Institute of Technology in order to sharpen her skills in jewelry making craft. After receiving an AA, she began promoting her pieces on foot and online. Through hard work, her pieces are now available worldwide ICUINPARIS (Paris), By Brooklyn (NYC), Yetang (Beijing), Fab.com (US & Europe) and in her home country Turkey.
Still today, she solely performs the corporate management of her brand, web design, PR, and photo shoots.
