Hi,

Design is my life.
I enjoy every pixel I create, every user delight and ah-ah moments. My dream is that design is taught in schools. If you need someone who will take your project apart, find the weak points, and improve it to perfection – that's me.

I had my own studio with 20 employees, with built processes for sales, management, hiring, and project creation. But I closed it in order to do what I loved: creating designs on my own.

I try not to do development, but to better understand how design works and understand that I took courses in frontend (HTML5/CSS3/TypeScript/Vue.js) and backend (Python, Swift).

Unfortunately, the lion's share of my best work is under a nondisclosure contract. But at an interview I am willing to show some of them (in the direction you are interested in).

Experience: 7 years | English: fluent

Recently I launched several new brands during this war, which seemed impossible at first. I helped out a few military battalions with branding, things like stripes, and designs for donation gatherings. There were some interesting PSYOPs with IT army and affiliate community that perhaps are to be disclosed after Ukraine wins :)
As of previous achievements at peaceful times, my team rebranded Babybox UA and using promo, pr, and gr tools we safeguarded this great social state initiative from elimination. Another example would be that we created our beloved new Ukrainian FMCG brand Magisto from scratch and launched it to market. The other pieces in my creative portfolio are all successes — I'm proud of each and every one of them. All of them made the world a better place.
