Ciao! My name is Chiara, and I am so happy you are here :)

My Story

Former fine dining Pastry Chef, my passion for creativity bloomed in the craft world a few years ago, while trying to work on a piece of sugar in the Hawaiian humidity. Struggling, I said to myself: “I wish this could be just glass”. A couple of years later, here I am, playing with glass pieces, creating beautiful mosaic patterns with you. Nothing makes me happier than having fun while sharing my passion with our guests; it is the most rewarding part of this job. I like to tell stories in my classes and learning about yours, too. Can’t wait to get crafty together!

Nur

Nur

Hi there! I'm Nur, and it's great to meet you. For over six years, I've been teaching a variety of virtual and in-person team-building workshops for both corporate teams and individuals.

My Story

As a designer, I blend art, innovation, and aesthetics, viewing the world through a creative lens. My love for travel and literature enriches my perspective, helping me lead workshops that turn imagination into reality. I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Forbes 500 companies, guiding thousands of people to make a meaningful impact through immersive experiences.

One of my greatest passions is creating terrariums. I've been making them for years, and it’s become a true joy for me. There’s something magical about designing these miniature ecosystems and watching them thrive.

I'm also a trained instructor, experienced in leading both small and large groups. My workshops are all about blending cultures and creativity to offer unique and inspiring design experiences. I invite you to join me on this journey of creativity and discovery.

Özge

Özge

Hi, I’m Özge, 24 years old, living in Istanbul, Turkey. I’m a backpacker, and a language & culture enthusiast, fluent in English, Turkish (of course!), conversational in Spanish, and currently learning Persian for my future travels.

My Story

I graduated in English Translation & Interpreting, and along the way I became a teacher, translator, and now a proud member of the KraftStories crew. Since joining in January 2025, I’ve been the friendly voice behind our customer support. My mission? Make sure every guest leaves smiling.

What I love most is how KraftStories feels less like a company and more like a circle of friends who just happen to work together. No stiff hierarchy, just lots of support, laughs, and learning. Every time I help solve a problem or brighten someone’s day, it reminds me why I love this job because at the heart of it, we’re all here to spread a little love, creativity and happiness.

Halil

Hello! I'm Halil, and it's a pleasure to meet you. With years of experience in corporate education, I specialize in leading team-building workshops that foster creativity and collaboration.

My Story

I have a deep appreciation for nature, particularly plants and terrariums, and I regularly hold workshops to share my knowledge and enthusiasm for these topics. My passion for art, especially mosaic history and the creation of Turkish mosaic lamps, also plays a significant role in my life. I love teaching these skills to others, helping them discover their own creativity.

My workshops are designed to create an atmosphere that encourages teamwork, inspires creativity, and leaves lasting memories. Join me in one of my sessions, and let's create something beautiful and unforgettable together!
