Since 2011, I've been passionately designing digital products, gaining invaluable experience in agencies, startups, and corporations. Over the years, I have specialized in crafting digital products from scratch, analyzing and enhancing the user experience of complex systems, and helping businesses grow by design.
I am also the founder and curator of Fountn, an ever-growing design resources platform aiming to make it easier and faster for designers to access design resources.
Lately, I've dedicated my energy to creating groundbreaking side projects, sharing design insights with 20k readers on LinkedIn, and supporting aspiring designers on their career journeys.
Feel free to reach out to me at ozan[@]reaktorstudios.com if you are interested in collaborating.
