Founder & Creative Director
Hello, I'm Özge Burçin Akdeniz. I was born in 1981 in Eskişehir, Turkey. My artistic journey began at Eskişehir Anatolian Fine Arts High School, where I studied painting. Later, I graduated from the Department of Animation at Anadolu University, Faculty of Fine Arts.
In 2009, I founded my own company. In 2013, I carried out R&D work at Eskişehir Technopark. Today, as part of the Pembe Panda team operating in both Eskişehir and Istanbul, I continue developing creative projects as an entrepreneur supported by İTÜ Çekirdek.
To me, every line carries a feeling, and every scene tells a story.
Animation is not just about moving images; it's about moving hearts and minds. It's the art of breathing life into imagination.
