Ekin Büyükşahin

Founder

In 2013 Ekin Büyükşahin founded Ekinakis. She started off by displaying her works at some design stores in Istanbul and other online platforms. She worked alone for almost three years getting a little help from her husband Turgut Pöğün. Because of the growing interest towards Ekin’s work, in 2016, she decided to share the workload with new staff members to be able to concentrate more on her artistic studies. She has been curating ekinakis.com and making all the aesthetic and strategic decisions about the brand since then.

Turgut Pöğün

Manager

Trained in musical composition, Turgut started getting involved with the brand shortly after its foundation in 2013. Since he is Ekin Büyükşahin’s husband, he played an important role in the growth of Ekinakis throughout the years. After becoming an associate professor, Turgut resigned from his academic position in 2018 and started working actively for Ekinakis. With his organized and disciplined work routine, Turgut is the key behind Ekinakis’ institutional success.
