About The Founder

Zehra Designs was born from a deep admiration for the Ottoman Empire’s intricate patterns, vibrant textiles, and traditions of this rich culture. Our designs invite you to connect to the past, while embracing the future. Each of our pieces are thoughtfully crafted to evoke to reflect on life's journey, and surround yourself with timeless inspiration.

Meet Kiki Rutten

As a revert to Islam, newly married, and deeply passionate about journaling, Kiki has experienced how writing can transform daily struggles into opportunities for growth and clarity.

Journaling plays a vital role in Kiki’s life, helping her connect more deeply with the Quran, navigate personal challenges, and nurture her spiritual journey. This daily practice, shared with her husband, has become a cherished ritual that strengthens their bond and enriches their faith.

At Zehra Designs, every piece is personally created and crafted by Kiki herself. Drawing inspiration from the intricate artistry of Turkish and Persian traditions, she combines timeless elegance with modern functionality. Each design reflects her dedication to providing tools that empower individuals to reflect, grow, and embrace the beauty of intentional living.
