About Me.

I am Deniz YANIK. 

I am a Berlin-based Product/Service/System Designer. I was living in Italy before I moved to Germany. I am an adventurous and curious person. Therefore, I like exploring new cultures as well as new possibilities for daily problems. I like to approach life in a gamified way which means every problem is a task to be solved. I like to play online team games that make me happy with collaborating with others so I believe in teamwork to achieve great results.
