Aslıhan Alparslan
Aslıhan is the founder and designer of Studio Solvea. Believing in the power of “spirit, intention, and slowness” in her design journey, Aslıhan explores human stories, the depth of connection, and a sense of calm within modern life through her illustrations and patterns. The “intertwined faces” motif featured on the STFF poster symbolizes the ways in which different lives and stories come into contact with one another. Studio Solvea continues its practice with the vision that objects are not merely items, but companions that carry lived experiences.
We are honored to have Aslıhan join us for this special event. Check out more of her work at @solveastudio and behance.net/aslihanalparslan
