Hey there! I'm
Kozan
a lifelong storyteller, game enthusiast, and puzzle constructor turned aspiring game producer. For over two decades, I’ve built immersive learning experiences as an instructional designer and product manager, wrangling everything from military-grade simulations to science curriculum for tens of thousands of students. Now, I'm leveling up into the game industry, bringing with me a knack for systems thinking, team leadership, and just the right amount of chaos management (thanks, escape rooms!). Whether it’s world-building, game mechanics, or making sure the devs have snacks, I’m here to help games get made — and made well.
