About Kozmonot Animation Studio
Kozmonot Animation Studio is an independent boutique studio working across 2D and 3D animation, motion design and digital storytelling. Founded in New York in 2009, it established Turkish operations in Ankara in 2012 and now lists a contact presence in Berlin. Its work spans educational media, commercial campaigns, title sequences, brand experiences and independent animated films.
The studio combines character design and visual concept development with production services covering storyboarding, modeling, rigging, texturing, rendering and compositing. Its output includes character animation, CGI, broadcast graphics, brand identity animation and digital promotional content, alongside interactive book media and experience design. This range supports projects that bring together visual development, animation and post-production.
Educational storytelling
A long-running collaboration with TED-Ed is a central part of the studio’s portfolio. Kozmonot designed, directed and produced Think Like a Coder, a ten-episode animated narrative series built around computational thinking, algorithmic puzzles and world-building. The project combines an ongoing fictional story with educational challenges.
Its educational work also includes Think Like a Musician, Public Speaking 101 and lessons addressing subjects such as microchip manufacturing, inflation, medication costs, in vitro fertilization and mythology. These productions sit alongside animated lessons, web series and educational films made for digital audiences.
Commercial and independent work
Beyond education, Kozmonot produces advertising animation, event titles and communications for brands, cultural organizations and public-sector initiatives. Reported clients and collaborators include Estée Lauder, Türk Telekom, UNDP Turkey, Misk Global Forum, Nike and AICP. Projects range from commercial 3D campaigns to animations explaining sustainable development and organizational progress.
The studio also develops independent storytelling. It wrote and directed the 2014 animated short Little Matryoshka, known in Turkish as Küçük Matruşka, extending its practice beyond commissioned educational and commercial production.
