About Me, Mitchell Duran.
Hello, my name is Mitchell Duran. Thank you for visiting my website and portfolio. Let me tell you a little about myself. I have substantial experience managing team operations and conducting in-depth research in various businesses, particularly in Bitcoin, cryptocurrency, and NFT sectors, as a result of my work as an operations manager, market researcher, and writer. Additionally, I have developed my skills in data analysis, presentation, and writing for educational newsletters on crypto-related subjects. I've also finished a fellowship program at Vechain and Draper University, where I honed my business abilities and specialized on WEB 3 and blockchain technology.
I also worked as a marketing assistant, writing and developing engaging material for new books. I am an outgoing, communicative professional with excellent research, writing, and teamwork abilities. I am also a published writer, journalist, and essayist, focusing on humanistic narratives that are both compelling, humorous, and forward-thinking. The future, however uncertain, is only as accurate as the love and objective truth that it ultimately possesses. If those skills and attributes sound like a good fit for your needs, please download my resume, reach out to me below, and view some of my current creative works.

The novel in progress grapples with tradition, specifically within the institutions of theatre, acting, and movies. It asks the reader, what would you do for your art? Who would you become? Where will the “magic if” take you if you let it?
