Hello everyone,

I'm Duru Ates

Creating is my language. Everything is too fast now in the world, things changed and the focus shifted from the customer to business, yet aimed at creating personal and impactful experiences. Communicating can be hard in the new world with Millennials and Gen Z in the picture, that's why to speak the professional language with a customer centric vision brings ease in complexity. That’s why some concepts touch people deeply. It’s so simple. It’s so personal, yet every time adaptable. I create customer centric experiences, spaces, communication and interactions, with attention to detail as a work ethic and great impact as a goal in mind. 

 
Always here to help.
