Metin Sozen

I'm an award-winning freelance illustrator and art director with a lifelong passion for visual storytelling. With 15 years of experience in the advertising and design industries, I've honed my skills in concept development and visual communication. I'm now channeling that expertise into my illustration work, creating whimsical, concept-driven pieces that help brands and publications connect with their audience. My digital illustrations, infused with the textures of traditional gouache and pastels, bring ideas to life uniquely and engagingly. I'm eager to collaborate on editorial and branding projects.
