I’m Derin Kaptanoglu, a highly creative and detail-oriented professional with a talent for connecting with diverse audiences and curating engaging content. . . My summers at Le Rosey in Geneva, along with my upbringing in Turkey, gave me the confidence to communicate with people from a wide range of backgrounds. Through my father’s property business in Turkey, I was also exposed early on to the expectations of high net worth clients and developed a strong understanding of the discretion and quality of service they require. Most recently, I have been supporting the process of prime residences in Portugal, including one of the country’s most valuable estates which developed my understanding of luxury lifestyle. I've styled seasonal campaigns and magazine covers for Nobody's Child selecting models, locations and wardrobe to craft compelling visual stories. I also created digital content for Motel Rocks which is a highly popular British brand known for its trendy and youthful edgy style. Alongside this, I’ve designed promotional posters for events in London, which further developed my eye for visual balance, branding, and audience engagement. I also authored and published a book titled First Glance in Tezhip exploring the art and history of traditional Turkish illumination reflecting my ability to research, curate and present content in a visually engaging way. My experience attending Milan Fashion Week shows every year strengthened my ability to curate visually engaging content for my own social media account as a micro influencer.
