Not a portfolio. A working archive of original patterns and textile compositions, drawn by hand, built through colour, ornament and repetition.

The craft
behind the surface.

Ornament resolves into the marks that made it. Pull it apart, let it return.

Pattern is memory, repeated until it becomes cloth.

Betül Karakış

Textile & Pattern Designer · Istanbul

I draw from places, stories and cultural details, transforming them into patterns for today. Each piece begins with something that catches my eye: an architectural detail, a symbol, a flower, a city, or a fragment of the past, and becomes a new visual story. Designed and drawn in Istanbul.
