About

Hello! I'm Ufuk Bircan Özkan.

I am an industrial designer with a passion for creating functional and aesthetically pleasing products. With more than a decade of experience in the field, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects ranging from furniture and hospitality to toys and transportation.
