A bit about me
I'm Oğuz (you can call me Oz), a senior product designer based in Amsterdam. Coming from Turkey, studied in Italy, working in the Netherlands (currently). I work on complex digital services and platforms, from e-commerce experiences across international markets to tools used by product and engineering teams.
I like getting involved when problems cross teams or the path forward isn't obvious. I ask a lot of questions, try to understand what's actually happening for people, and work with others to turn complicated needs and constraints into clear, thoughtful experiences. I care about the small details just as much as the bigger picture.
My background combines industrial design, service design, and psychology. I've worked with many different countries, which has made me more aware of how differently people can approach the same experience.
I enjoy working closely with people from different disciplines, whether I'm leading a design project or helping a team see a problem differently. I also like mentoring other designers and finding ways to make collaboration better.
Fun facts: I used to be a Latin American dancer, I bake a lot, sketch a lot and I keep an unreasonable number of plants alive.
