Hi, I am Ozan.
I art direct and design picture books, often working with authors and illustrators from early concept through to publication.
I also work on selected branding and visual identity projects.
I studied graphic design at the Fine Arts Faculty and graduated in 2004. Since then I’ve worked as a designer and art director with both global and local advertising agencies and publishers, including Leo Burnett, Grey, XXVII and Sketch Corp.
Over the past decade my work has focused largely on children’s publishing. I collaborate with publishers, organisations, authors and illustrators to develop and produce books, guiding projects from early ideas to finished publications.
Alongside my design work, I also manage Tadaa Book, where I work with a network of illustrators from around the world on a wide range of children’s book projects.
