Özge Ucoluk is a passionate and multidisciplinary designer specializing in graphic design, visual branding, and photography, with a strong focus on creating meaningful and memorable brand experiences.
Born and raised in Ankara, Özge’s journey into design began at age five when her father handed her a camera unknowingly igniting a lifelong fascination with visual storytelling, color theory, and typography. That moment sparked a curiosity that would grow into a career rooted in both creativity and strategic thinking.
She holds a Bachelor’s in Graphic Design from Turkey, and further expanded her international perspective through an Erasmus semester in Poland. There she dives into Eastern European design principles. Her academic path culminated in a Dual Award Master’s in Visual Brand Design at Domus Academy in Milan, in partnership with Regent’s University London a place that sharpened her design voice and fueled her love for brand strategy.

Özge’s background is as layered as her work. With German heritage through her grandmother, a World War II survivor, she credits much of her tenacity and calm-under-pressure attitude to the legacy of resilience passed down through generations. It’s this balance of empathy and structure that defines her approach to design.
Currently, Özge is a Junior Designer at FutureBrand Milan, where she brings her vision to life on real, global branding projects that challenge and refine her craft. Whether she’s designing for print or digital platforms, she grounds her work in strategic research, ensuring that every visual decision aligns with brand values and audience needs.
Her design philosophy integrates modern minimalism with emotional depth. She believes great design is not just about aesthetics it’s about connection, clarity, and evolution. Her process is both intuitive and analytical, treating every assignment like a visual puzzle to be solved with purpose and precision.
From Ankara’s streets, across Poland, and into the dynamic studios of Milan, Özge has built a design identity informed by culture, curiosity, and skill. Her grandma might still insist she bring a jacket but Özge has proven she can thrive anywhere, as long as there’s Adobe, caffeine, and a story to tell.
“Domus Academy shaped how I approach design, not as decoration, but as a way to tell stories that matter.”
