Blufauna Illustrated Goods is an original, self-initiated collection of illustrated paper products and lifestyle merchandise conceived, illustrated, and produced by Sevilay Kaya. Born from a passion for tactile, thoughtful everyday stationery, the line ranges from functional desk notepads that infuse humour into daily productivity to heartfelt greetings cards that help people express warmth and affection. The collection achieved notable acclaim when the Bristol Clifton Suspension Bridge greeting card was awarded 2nd Place in the Changes Bristol Design Competition, celebrating local Bristol heritage while raising vital funds for community mental health support.

Award Certificate
Intentional aesthetics & thoughtful execution.
The creative process bridges playful character illustration with versatile product design. Each motif begins as an expressive hand-drawn digital illustration that is adapted across different physical formats, including greetings cards, desk notepads, home decor, and accessories. When an illustration transitions into different merchandise types, the layout, scale, and pattern density are recalibrated to complement each medium, from 350gsm textured paper to waterproof textiles, ceramics, and canvas.
