STAGE
Duru started her journey as a theatrical sound designer in late 2024 after commencing pre-production on her first show, to broaden her horizons of sound as a storytelling craft. Since then, she has fallen in love with it and has worked on several voluntary and independent student productions, making her professional debut as an assistant sound designer in 2026.
