Life in a nutshell

Hi, I'm Özlem. I design digital products, throw ceramics by hand, and have visited 16 countries so far, usually coming home with one too many mugs I made myself. I'm also cat mom to Karpuz and I once lost a 20 minute argument with my product designer husband over button sizes. Still not over it.

Experience

It was really great to work with Özlem on the UX design for my platform. From the very beginning, she was extremely professional and grasped the concept - which isn't a common one - remarkably quickly. The quality of her work was outstanding throughout.

Oz did a fabulous design that took my ideas and improved them, delivering exactly what I hoped for. Oz was also very responsive and super helpful. I would have no hesitation using Oz again. Highly recommend.

I really like the final result. My only small note was a tweak to one of the visual details, going for more of a soft glare rather than a hard outline, but other than that, it's great work.
