micros is a precision-formulated mint designed to help people feel exactly the way they want. Trouble focusing? Choose focus. 👁️ Can’t sleep? Go with sleep.✨ It’s not an addictive drug or a long-term supplement, but like a dial you turn to find the feeling you need, right when you need it.
That idea resonated deeply with us. At Ozan Karakoc Design Studio, our mission isn’t all that different: we help our clients choose how they want their audience to feel. With micros, we began the branding journey from that shared perspective—identifying the emotions the brand needed to spark in its customers in order to stand out in an increasingly saturated market.

💫 Glad, a Los Angeles-based pop-up restaurant, tantalizes taste buds with its artisan di recco style focaccias, a culinary delight crafted by Chef Cihan. Having honed his skills at the prestigious Chi Spacca under the guidance of legendary chef Nancy Silverton, Chef Cihan brings a wealth of culinary expertise to Glad.
Whether it’s the intimate setting at farmers markets or the grand stage of events like Smorgasburg, Glad beckons food enthusiasts to savor moments of gastronomic joy. As Glad continues to carve its niche in the culinary landscape, there’s a tantalizing anticipation of what new flavors and experiences Chef Cihan will bring to the table in the future.
The starting point of Glad’s incredibly delicious focaccia is its stretchy dough, masterfully handcrafted by Chef Cihan. After watching him performing his magic with the special dough, it was difficult not to be inspired by how thin, flexible and dynamic it was. Therefore, we decided to make it the hero of Glad’s visual brand identity. On the other hand, by its nature, a pop-up restaurant is flexible and easy to adapt. You can set it up in half an hour, and put it in the middle of the most popular food market, a private birthday party, a big business event, or any occasion you can think of.
That, and the stretchiness of the dough, sparked the idea of creating a flexible brand identity that organically changes on every other marketing material while keeping its essence with its special red and beige color scheme, and handwritten wordmark.

The Leafage brand represents the elegance and sophistication of exotic plant culture, while refraining from creating a distant relationship with customers and plant enthusiasts.

Wristwatches have always been a major passion object for designers. I’m also a big fan of them and designing a wristwatch is an item in my bucket list.
Thanks to #Midjourney and the power of AI, I managed to come up with my own designs by giving it prompts and exploring possibilities.
It has been a delightful experience that left me with mixed feelings between admiration and anxiety. Will human watch designers exist 20 years from now?

We came to the end of another year with mixed feelings as humans living on the blue planet...
We faced challenges such as inflation, COVID, and the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, we dealt with natural disasters like floods, storms and extreme heatwave, brave Iranian women started an historical movement to win their freedom back, Britain mourned the loss of Queen Elizabeth II, Elon Musk bought Twitter and the world population hit 8 billion...
Some of us had tremendous success in what we do, some of us failed at something and learnt lessons... Some of us fell in love, some of us moved to another country... Some lost a loved one, some gave birth to a new baby...
We celebrated, we mourned, we reflected, we forgot, we reminisced, we cherished, and finally, we came to the end of 2022...
Here, we're sharing a quick recap of how we've done this year, to keep a record. Hope your year was even better than ours, and 2023 will bring you the best of luck and success!
Happy new year!
