Throughout my work I was constantly evolving
I worked for one company for almost 15 years.

The starting point of my career in marketing was the position of content manager of an online store. I created product cards, made descriptions for them, added photos, which I also took and processed by myself. It was back in 2011th.

In addition to creating products on the site, I controlled the export/import of the nomenclature from the database, dealt with issues of interface improvements, logic and other issues related to work or online orders.

I was quite good in photo editing, so little by little I began to take on various design functions — making banners for web, layouts for printing, etc. At the same time, I delved more in photo production, so when one day there was a need to shoot a video, this task came to me.

Already in the 17th, I headed the department. The company had several areas of activity, so many of them needed media support. Those days I had already completed several specialized courses, reached voiceovers and animation basics.

And also, to my skills were added some new qualities, such as management, because activities organization, project management, reporting, settlements with customers — all these were also a part of the job I made. My first team consisted of three men. In total, during the years of this department work, their number reached six - three worked in Kharkiv, another three - in Kyiv.

I quit on October 21st. One side, I wanted to change something in my life. Other, my wife has been working in Kyiv those days, she needed me near. These came the main reasons for my decision.

In Kyiv, I tried myself as a freelancer. Not the best period of my life. I felt empty and needed some rest to refill myself, and also I understood there was no time for this. There were almost no orders so I thought I'm doing something wrong. Or it was such a period - December (Yo-ho-ho! X-mas holidays!). In short, I some of my nerves gone to trash.

One of the last projects I did was a kind of trying me and my qualities. The company what was hiring me engaged in import and sales of medical equipment. The project was very large and tedious. It took almost two months of painstaking work. I did it good. Received the job offer. Life was looking getting better.

Until the early morning of February 24... 

Unbelievable, reading people still exist ;)
Love what I do or the projects I make
