Özge Burçin Akdeniz

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.
