Ozan studied graphic design and first worked in advertising. He then discovered children's book design and happily left the ad world to become the art director of a publishing house. Ozan then accidentally wrote a young adult science fiction novel, illustrated a book and co-illustrated another. He moved to Australia in 2011. Yay! Nowadays he works for a marketing agency in Brisbane. He is also the co-founder of TadaaBook, where he helps independent children’s authors.
