About Ozan Karakoc Design Studio

We help brands evolve, resonate, and grow by creating distinctive strategies and world-class design that serve as their roadmap for tomorrow.

Founded by Ozan Karakoc, an award-winning designer and creative director with 25+ years of experience, the studio works as a "design partner" rather than a vendor. We stay close to the business, ask the hard questions early, and build brand systems that keep working long after launch.

SERVICES

— Brand strategy: brand audits, positioning, core values, personas, customer research

— Naming and messaging: company and product naming, taglines, brand voice, copywriting

— Brand identity: logo design, visual identity systems, brand guidelines

— Packaging and print: product packaging, ads, brochures, book design

— Digital: website and app UI/UX, social media design

— Motion: 2D/3D animation, video and explainer content

Over the years we have worked with pioneer brands including Google, Toyota, Expedia, Carvana, Hilton, Fox Sports, Travel Channel, Monster Energy, Tupperware and Princeton University, as well as visionary start-ups that turned to success stories such as Flo, Elevation, Jurny and more.

APPROACH

Our core executive team consists of two partners, a brand strategist and a brand designer, with 25+ years of experience each. When a project calls for additional expertise, we build a tailored team from our network of 34 exceptionally talented creators that include Emmy award nominee videographers, Hollywood level 3D artists, world class font designers, and more.

As a creative director, Ozan has a natural gift for turning ideas into reality. He is a highly pensive individual, who creates out of box visions for brands on a regular basis. As a true gentleman, Ozan genuinely cares about his clients, the development and the psyche of his team, and aesthetic concerns. Moreover, he does all that with a serene sense of responsibility, which I observed to be contagious. If you’re looking for a creative mind, who could deliver high-value and high-impact results, motivate and teach his team, set a high aesthetic bar, and establish a culture of mutual respect, then Ozan Karakoc is the man you’re looking for.

I’ve known Ozan for years, and I’ve always found him to be a superlative professional and designer. Everything he creates, he creates from the heart and with meaning behind it. He goes above and beyond to service his clients and always has their best interests in mind, without ego. He also gives back to the design community through AIGA. I highly recommend working with Ozan anytime, any way! You’ll be in for a treat.

If I need to define working with Ozan Karakoc Design Studio with only one word, I would go with ‘comfortable’. In the past, we worked with several designers who just follow rules and guidelines, but with Ozan, it was quite different. He achieved to manifest the message of the Beyondtech brand to the customer, not only with good design, but also with a fine strategy to redefine the brand promise and deliver the key messages of our brand. The result is more brand awareness, clean and elegant work, and best of all, a ‘partner’ who is really easy to work with, even with 10 hours of time-zone difference.

I didn’t have any clue where to get started with logo creation and brand strategy. During an exhaustive search, I repeatedly came across Ozan Karakoc Design Studio. (…) The guy is simply brilliant and he thinks of everything. Granted, there are a lot of designers out there, but finding the one who truly cares about you as a client is rarity in my opinion. Ozan cares. If you are looking for a designer to help you build your dream, this is the guy for you.
