As DOGO, we attended “Bi’ Dünya İş” conference held by Izmir University of Economics Vocational School. Leading entrepreneurs of the sector came together with the students to share their experiences and difficulties they’ve encountered in business life. DOGO’s Founder and Chairman Gökhan Peksarı gave a speech about “Fundamentals of Design Oriented Thinking”.

Also he mentioned the importance of searching modernist approaches while solving a problem.

Onur Öğretmenler:
I would like to thank so much to DOGO Design family for being able to reflect my lifestyle with my shoes.
Zeynep Deniz Yıldızhan:
DOGO lets people to go beyond standards that’s why I appreciate their work. As a vegan, I am very proud of their sensitivity to animals. In Turkey, unfortunately we can’t find so many vegan brands that respect these issues. My shoes look exactly the same as on the website, it’s very comfortable and it fits perfectly. Thanks DOGO!
Polat Bakır:
DOGO colored up my life with unique designs and I hope it will be continued. I loved my shoes, they are so comfy! Thank you so much for this opportunity.
